April 15 is the deadline for proposals for papers on issues of fair market value, general market value, and commercial reasonableness under the new Stark regulations. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a final rule that modernizes and clarifies the regulations that implemented the Medicare physician self-referral statute (the Stark Law). The papers will be peer-reviewed, and BVR would like to see proposals from experts in all valuation disciplines, including experts not only in business and compensation valuation, but in machinery and equipment (M&E) and real estate as well. Please send an email with a summary of the topic of your proposed paper to andyd@bvresources.com.
