Lease arrangements with referring physicians are often treated as routine — yet they've triggered some of the largest federal settlements in healthcare. 

This white paper examines how physician lease arrangements become liabilities — and what leadership teams can do to build a defensible compliance framework that helps:

• • Close the transactional and operational gaps that drive enforcement actions
• • Strengthen governance across real estate, finance, compliance, and operations
• • Identify vulnerabilities in lease structure and administration before regulators do

You'll get a clear-eyed look at recent multi-million-dollar settlements, the most common transactional and operational pitfalls, and the governance characteristics shared by health systems that manage real estate compliance effectively.
