Physician Contract Glossary · Restrictive Covenants
Related Investment Opportunities
This clause governs your right, or restriction, to invest in ventures connected to the practice such as ASCs or imaging centers.
Many practices generate income through related ventures: ambulatory surgery centers, imaging, labs, real estate. This clause defines whether you may invest in them, on what terms, and whether you are restricted from competing investments elsewhere. It interacts with Stark Law and Anti-Kickback rules, because physician investment in entities they refer to is heavily regulated.
Understand both the opportunity and the restriction here. The right to buy into ancillary ventures can be a major income source, while a clause barring outside investment can limit your wealth-building, and both must respect Stark and Anti-Kickback limits.
