Representative Experience
Healthcare Agreements
The contracts a healthcare business runs on, from BAAs to payor and provider agreements, drafted to work commercially and survive regulatory review.
Fractional general counsel work and a decade drafting the agreements healthcare businesses run on.
The situation
Healthcare contracts carry a second layer most commercial agreements do not. A vendor agreement that touches patient data needs a BAA. A medical director arrangement needs fair market value support. A referral relationship needs to fit an exception. Standard commercial paper does not account for any of it.

How these deals work
- 01 We identify where an agreement needs a regulatory overlay: a required BAA, fair-market-value support, or a referral exception.
- 02 We draft or redline the agreement to work commercially and survive regulatory review at the same time.
- 03 We build reusable templates and playbooks so your team can handle routine agreements without routing each one to a lawyer.
- 04 We fit the contracting process to how your operations and compliance teams actually work.
Who it's for
Provider groups, digital health companies, and any business whose contracts touch patient data or clinical services.
Common questions
Healthcare Agreements, answered.
- What has to be in a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
- At minimum, the permitted uses and disclosures of protected health information, safeguard obligations, breach notification duties, subcontractor flow-down requirements, and what happens to the data when the relationship ends. Many vendor-supplied BAAs are thinner than they should be.
- Do we need a BAA with every vendor?
- Only vendors that create, receive, maintain, or transmit protected health information on your behalf. We help you sort which vendors actually do, and make sure the BAA sits alongside commercial terms that match how the data flows.
- How do we paper a medical director arrangement compliantly?
- In writing, for a set term, with clearly defined duties, and at compensation supported as fair market value and not tied to the volume or value of referrals. Undocumented or informal arrangements are a common and avoidable exposure.
- What's the risk of using a generic template for healthcare contracts?
- It usually misses the second layer: a required BAA, fair-market-value support, or a referral exception. The contract can read fine commercially and still create real regulatory exposure. That gap is where problems hide.
