The first called Special Session of the 85th
Legislature adjourned sine die one day early on Aug. 15. On Aug. 11, the Texas Medical Board (TMB) Sunset bills were
passed by the Texas House and were signed by Governor Abbott the same
day. Senate Bill 20 extends the life of the TMB and Senate Bill 60
provides funding for the agency. TMA President, Carlos J. Cardenas, MD
thanked the Governor and lawmakers for their actions to avert what would’ve
been a health care catastrophe. At the time of this writing, other healthcare-related
legislation signed by the Governor included: SB 11, which will restrict
the application of do-not-resuscitate orders to competent patients when it is
contrary to their wishes and death is not imminent; SB 17, which will study trends
and conditions associated with pregnanacy-related deaths and also extends the
life of the Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Task Force by four years; and HB
215 which pertains to additional reporting requirements for abortions. |
Stay tuned to this column for more details of the Special
Session. Additional updates will be provided as they become available. For local discussion on these and other legislative advocacy
topics, consider joining the BCMS Legislative and Socioeconomics Committee by

Buying
or Selling a Medical Practice A Seminar
Presented by Mike Kreager, Esq. of
Kreager Mitchell, PLLC Saturday,
September 9, 2017 |
Bexar
County Medical Society Building No purchase or sale of a
medical practice is exactly like another. Your purchase or sale of your
practice will be unique to you. But the process itself, though
daunting, follows a predictable path. It all starts with valuation
– how much is the practice worth? – and proceeds through structuring the
purchase or sale and negotiations to document the transaction and sign the
contract. In this session, attorney Mike Kreager will use a model case
to examine each stage. Michael Kreager has
practiced business and tax law in Texas for 38 years. Mike founded
Kreager Mitchell, PLLC over 20 years ago to address the unique business,
corporate, tax and regulatory legal needs of physician and physician
practices. Mike authored Employment Contracts for Physicians: The
Comprehensive Guide, Second Edition, and “What’s My Practice
Worth? A Comprehensive Guide to Practice Valuations and Sales” both
of which are published and sold by the TMA. His extensive article on
physician covenants not to compete, “The Physician’s Right in §15.50(B) to
Buy Out a Covenant Not to Compete” is read by physicians, attorneys and
judges as the definitive work on the subject. It is available online
and was published in the Baylor Law Review, volume 61, page 357 (2009). Admission
is FREE to BCMS Members |
