In this recorded session, McCarter & English,and Withum address the legal and consulting standards for the new laws passed across multiple states that require review of healthcare transactions involving the consolidation of healthcare entities. These laws not only apply to intra-state healthcare entities, but also out-of-state healthcare entities that are seeking to cross a border and purchase, acquire, or merge with a healthcare entity operating within a state that has passed one of these new laws. We will discuss who the statutes apply to, the transactional threshold levels that have to be met for the statute to apply, what information the healthcare entities have to provide to the state, who reviews the information and the review process, whether the statute requires state approval or just notice, and the state’s stance on anti-trust issues.

If you are a healthcare provider or represent providers that operate in several states and are looking to expand, this timely presentation will serve as a guide to your future M&A strategy.
