Group Purchasing Organizations
SNR Denton has extensive experience representing group
purchasing organizations (GPOs) and GPO alliances in connection
with a wide range of legal issues unique to this sector of the
health care industry.
Specifically, we:
1) help GPOs ensure that their various business arrangements,
contracts and marketing initiatives comply with anti-kickback,
antitrust, Medicare program, and other federal and state health
care program laws and regulations;
2) develop and help implement tailored corporate compliance
programs for GPOs, and provide associated training to GPO
management and employees;
3) defend GPOs in connection with federal and state administrative,
civil and criminal audits, investigations and litigation;
4) handle sophisticated corporate health care transactions on
behalf of GPOs; and
5) counsel GPOs with respect to their interactions with federal and
state legislative bodies and regulatory authorities, including the
US Senate and Federal Trade Commission.
