Physician group practices that lease office space should consider several issues before signing a lease. These issues include whether to hire a broker to assist in the search for office space, negotiating lease provisions that pertain to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act; confidentiality of patient records; proper disposal of medical waste and other hazardous materials; compliance with occupational safety standards; quiet enjoyment; and utility use. In addition, physician group practices that lease office space from other healthcare providers must ensure that the lease terms conform with antifraud and abuse safe harbor regulations.
租赁办公空间的医生团体执业机构在签署租约前应考虑几个问题。这些问题包括是否聘请经纪人协助寻找办公空间、就与《美国残疾人法案》合规相关的租约条款进行谈判；患者记录的保密性；医疗废物和其他有害物质的妥善处置；遵守职业安全标准；安静使用；以及公用事业使用。此外，从其他医疗服务提供者处租赁办公空间的医生团体执业机构必须确保租约条款符合反欺诈和滥用安全港规定。
