#110 Legal Considerations for OT (Part 2) with with Alyson Stover and Monika Lukasiewicz

OT reimbursement from traditional models is on the decline, while the need for OT services on the rises

Thus, entering into private practice is an important avenue for OTs to consider.

But, with this comes all kinds of legal considerations.

In the first part of this two part series, we talked about choosing a legal entity, working with your full scope of practice as laid out by your licensure laws, and navigating Medicare covered services.

Now in part two, we are getting into more considerations from navigating anti-trust, Stark Law, anti-kickback, to monopolization laws.

This is truly information that all OTs need to be savvy about (whether or not you run a business.)

We’ll welcome back two returning podcast guests, Monika Lukasiewicz, OTR/L (who is looking to start her practice) and Alyson Stover, MOT, JD, OTR/L, BCP (a pediatric occupational therapist/private practice owner, who also has a degree in health law.)

This is live webinar! So we answer listener questions at the end! Please note, we cannot give legal advice during this time—but, we do want to help equip you to understand these basic legal considerations- so you can run (or at least be part of) a sound, profitable business.
