Introduction
The healthcare industry is evolving, and astute counsel are working with their clients to manage risk in the face of an uncertain future. Providing for arbitration allows the parties and counsel to control the who-what-where-when-and-how of resolving potential disputes. Counsel include arbitration agreements in all areas of healthcare, including merger and acquisition transactions, facility agreements between providers and payors, managed care contracts between providers and health plans, and agreements between providers and patients.
