Andrew Ittleman is a Miami-based attorney providing critical legal services to medical tourism facilities and related businesses. Mr. Ittleman’s medical tourism clients typically provide medical treatments that are either unavailable in the United States or better and more cost effective abroad. In most instances, Mr. Ittleman’s medical tourism clients are founded by American physicians and entrepreneurs, and to date he has advised these clients when launching medical tourism clinics in Mexico, The Bahamas, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, The Cayman Islands and other international jurisdictions. Because these medical tourism clinics are often launched by U.S. persons and market to American patients, Mr. Ittleman is asked to coordinate and oversee a broad range of legal projects and issues, either to comply with or avoid triggering U.S. law. Mr. Ittleman’s work for his medical tourism clients has included the following:

· Advising medical tourism clients regarding patient referral and business generation issues, with a particular focus on federal and state anti-kickback and patient brokering statutes, regulations, policies, and safe harbors;

· Drafting, reviewing and negotiating agreements between and among international medical tourism clinics, their executives and employees, as well as service providers, consultants and referral sources in the U.S.;

· Advising U.S. medical tourism facilitators, including by drafting their User Agreements and Terms of Service, as well as the contracts governing the relationships between medical tourism facilitators and international medical tourism facilities;

· Drafting and implementing medical tourism compliance programs and policy documents; and

· Commercial litigation and arbitrations
