How An Attorney Can Help with Your Pharmacy Start-Up

A pharmacy start-up attorney can help you ensure regulation compliance from the very beginning. It can sometimes be difficult to introduce measures and policies later in a business’s operation, and it leaves the company open to legal and financial liabilities. Starting any business is complex and difficult, and pharmacies have significantly more requirements than other businesses. A lawyer experienced in healthcare start-ups can help you manage the various regulatory needs of a pharmacy and help protect you and your business.

Business Setup & Analysis

Opening a new pharmacy business is a complex undertaking. In addition to financing, scouting the right location, and training a team, you’ll need to secure the right licenses and permits at both the state and federal levels. Every pharmacy business is unique, from its structure to required regulations to the varying needs of investors. You need an attorney who can work with the structure and layout of the company you plan to create. An attorney can review the legal requirements of registration, licensure, and ensure the other parties you work with have the necessary credentials.

Established pharmacies should seek professional guidance to grow and prosper in an ever-changing industry. The daily operations of a pharmacy can be complex as laws and regulation continue to evolve. We can help.

Contract Negotiation

Healthcare professionals require a significant number of contracts to operate a business. From the manufacturer, payor-provider, and shared services agreements, these legally binding documents should be professionally written and negotiated to protect your interests. Creating contract drafts that can be used throughout a business’s lifetime is essential, such as employee contracts, business transactions, non-competition agreements, and distribution agreements. Boesen & Snow is skilled in all areas of contract law, including disputes. We handle contract disputes with your company’s interests and reputation as a priority.

Compliance Training

In order for a pharmacy to remain compliant, employees must be prepared and properly trained. A business needs to be properly licensed as well as pharmacists and pharmacy staff. When staff is more educated about regulation and the importance of compliance with state and federal laws, a business is less susceptible to legal or financial penalties.

Pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) audits are a frequent part of daily pharmacy operations. PBM audits and violations cost pharmacies thousands of dollars a year and can force honest business owners to close their doors. With a former PBM auditor on our team, Boesen & Snow is uniquely qualified to assess your business for red flags and train your team on compliance with payor contracts. Be prepared when auditors come knocking. Reach out now. We can help you prevent liabilities from the day you begin your business.

Buying or Selling a Pharmacy

Before you make the decision to buy or sell a pharmacy, it’s imperative that proper research is conducted on areas including financials, building ownership, and staffing to ensure a smooth transaction. In addition to ensuring you have a valid and current license, you may need help dealing with the disposal of inventory and controlled substances, patient records, and applications. An attorney can help oversee and review the transition and negotiation during this process.

Before finalizing any agreements, the attorneys at Boesen & Snow Law will thoroughly examine your case and help you successfully plan for the future of your pharmacy business.
