Rainey Kizer’s Angela Youngberg Predicts Greater Collaboration Among Healthcare Providers

November 16th, 2011  

Jackson, TN (November 14, 2011) — Doctors and physicians will have to work more collaboratively due to impending changes in reimbursement from Medicare and other third party payers according to Angela Youngberg, Healthcare Practice Group Leader at the Rainey, Kizer, Reviere & Bell, PLC law firm. Youngberg’s remark came while she was a featured panelist at the Memphis Daily News seminar on “The Business of Health Care.”

“Payers such as Medicare are shifting away from paying providers based on volume under a fee-for-service payment method and are shifting toward payment methods that are founded upon cost savings, quality, and efficiency,” Youngberg explained. “Examples of integration or collaboration that are occurring include hospitals, employment of physicians, synthetic employment arrangements, co-management service arrangements, and accountable care organizations (ACOs).”

 

Youngberg was joined on the panel by Ken Beasley, CEO of OrthoMemphis, Bill Griffin, Vice President of Corporate Finance, Baptist Memorial Health Care, and George Hernandez, CEO of Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics.

 

Youngberg was recognized by her peers for inclusion in the Health Care Law section of The Best Lawyers in America® and is recognized as a Super Lawyer by Mid-South Super Lawyers® magazine. She serves on the Executive Council for the Health Law Section of the Tennessee Bar Association.

 

At Rainey Kizer, Youngberg maintains a diverse health law practice counseling physicians, physician groups, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, nursing homes, DME suppliers, nurse practitioners, imaging facilities, home health agencies, pharmacies, institutional clients, physical therapy companies, and other types of healthcare providers and suppliers on a variety of healthcare matters.
