Bo Knows ACOs – Bo Bobbitt Quoted in an Online News Source Regarding Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)

Raleigh, N.C. – Bo Bobbitt, a partner at Smith Anderson and head of the Firm’s Health Care practice, was recently quoted by the Clinical Endocrinology News Digital Network as part of its “Top Health News” section where he shared insight on the legal landscape for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), possible pitfalls for physicians and the importance of developing best practice guidelines. 

"It can be a legal minefield, but it is navigable," Mr. Bobbitt said. "As an attorney and health care adviser, I try to convey that yes, there are legal issues – novel legal issues – but at the same time, this is such a positive improvement to health care, it is navigable if done right."

The article continues that, “Having a strong voice will empower physicians and assure ACO guidelines act as a lawsuit shield, rather than a sword.”
