  • Title: Hermann agreement updates IRS guidelines for incentives.
    Author: Broccolo BM, Peregrine MW.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1995 Jan; 49(1):64-6, 68. PubMed ID: 10146129.
    Abstract:
    The October 1994 agreement between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Hermann Hospital of Houston, Texas, elucidates current IRS policy on physician recruitment incentives. The IRS distinguishes between the recruiting and the retention of physicians and perimts incentives beyond reasonable compensation in the former but not the latter circumstance. This new agreement, while not legally precedential, nevertheless provides guidance for healthcare organizations seeking safe harbor protection.
