The Doctor is In...But Where is the Tax Advisor?
ARLINGTON, Va., April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Medical practices are a niche market vastly underserved by tax and accounting practitioners, according to leading tax experts Alan Gassman, Jim Feutz and Lester Perling, who will host a new webinar from Bloomberg BNA entitled Individual and Group Medical Practices: Tax, Health Law, and Creditor Protection Planning. Pension actuary Jim Feutz will also discuss pension planning opportunities with spreadsheet examples of how small professional practices can use presently existing opportunities to maximize contributions for practice owners.

Focusing on the physician practice market, the webinar, to be held on April 25, 2012, 12:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m., ET will examine primary structures, health and tax law considerations, and both conventional and innovative planning opportunities that are not always obvious to legal, tax, and accounting practitioners.
"The interplay between tax law, health law, and creditor protection planning must be addressed with simple and logical solutions," says Bloomberg BNA senior tax analyst Robert Herman. "Education of and communication with clients and advisors is therefore absolutely critical."
In 90 minutes, Gassman, Feutz and Perling will offer practical advice on:
-- How medical practice and associated structuring is different than
structuring for a typical or other professional closely-held business
-- How to insulate medical practice entities from malpractice liability
-- How to coordinate practice and associated business and investment entity
structuring with the physician's personal planning
-- Compensation, pension, dividend, and associated distribution planning
-- Planning ahead to reduce the transitional costs associated with bringing
in a first new partner
-- Using Parent F reorganizations
-- Reviewing common mistakes made by physicians and their advisors
Upon completion of this program, participants will learn to:
-- Choose and adapt appropriate business and investment structures for
physician endeavors
-- Understand and recognize alternative opportunities
-- Communicate effectively with physician clients and their other advisors
-- Recognize traps for the unwary with respect to tax, creditor protection,
and medical law planning
