Members of the TEO Group team with DWT's health care industry group
to provide comprehensive services to tax-exempt health care organizations.
We provide tax advice on issues such as qualification for tax-exempt
status, avoidance of private inurement and intermediate sanctions,
joint ventures with physicians, unrelated business income tax, obtaining
IRS private letter rulings, joint operating agreements, conversions
to and from exempt status, and structuring executive compensation
arrangements. The group has a close working relationship with the
national office of the IRS, and is uniquely qualified to advise on
issues of tax exemption in the health care context.
HIPAA lawyers work with members of the TEO Group in furnishing
practical answers and strategies posed by electronic and Internet
technologies used in the health care industry. Nonprofit and for-profit
health care entities are among the most regulated of industries, and
compliance with HIPAA and other regulations demand a far-sighted,
multidisciplinary approach to anticipate tomorrow's climate. DWT's
HIPAA and TEO Group lawyers help tax-exempt health care organizations
do just that.
