National Institutes of Health Information on Office Rental Agreements for "Purchased Ultrasound Services"

All of us are in business; make sure yours runs like one, starting by operating within the rules.  Build your business well and you'll keep it.

For many of our students, one of the many murky areas of the Stark Law (which deals broadly with physician self-referral issues) is that pertaining to the structuring of fair and just agreements with contract services, such as ultrasound.   We recently found this helpful document at the National Institutes of Health, giving specific information on how to establish one.  Click on this link:  http://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/docs/alertsandbulletins/office%20space.htm

Welcome to our Pre- and Post-Conference Center

In 1982, a year after our first conferences, I knew that we would want to create an opportunity for every one of our Attendees to meet each other again-- a place and/or an event that would offer the chance to exchange ideas and experiences with each other.  A place where you can get or share information, get motivated, share your feelings, and find real resources for your future....

Today, we launch that place: it's right here, and it's a non-stop, around-the clock spot that's open forever for you.  If you're one of our former students, you know not to be a shy, hiding-type wallflower-- dive into the Blog and post your message in any category.  And if you're not yet one of ours, don't let that stop you... help yourself to our information resources and share your thoughts just as freely!

We're glad you're here, and we're grateful for the chance to see you again!

Keith Mauney, Program Director
