Julian “Bo” Bobbitt

As Head of the Health Law Group at Smith Anderson, Julian D. (“Bo”) Bobbitt, Jr., has over 30 years’ experience in providing experienced strategic counsel and sophisticated legal advice to assist health care providers and organizations successfully navigate the business, cultural, regulatory, and legal minefields confronting them. Through his legal practice at Smith Anderson, Bo has overseen the formation of over 30 clinically-integrated Physician Organizations and Physician Hospital Organizations and over a dozen MSSP and Next Gen ACOs.

While Bo continues to address the value-based care legal issues through his relationship with the Smith Anderson law firm, he recognized an unmet need for experienced strategic insight in value-based integrated population health. VHP was thus started to leverage Bo's demonstrated strategic consulting skills.

Bo’s expertise in the complex legal environment of health care is clear, but it is his understanding of the business and cultural approaches required to navigate a successful organization in the new health care environment our nation has entered that really makes him stand out as one of the most valuable voices that an organization could bring into its table. His unique combination of knowledge, foresight and ability to engage health care professionals is a rarity.

Bo is regularly recognized for his work and abilities. He has earned the professional recognition as a member of The Best Lawyers in America © (1997-2017), among other accolades. Being credited nationally for his authorship of one of the leading ACO development guides for providers (“The ACO Guide: How to Identify and Implement the Essential Elements for Accountable Care Organization Success”), Bo is frequently invited to address medical audiences on best practices in value based care and change management. As a recognized “change agent” in care delivery innovations, Bo has both the insight and foresight to help clients navigate a complex and changing market. He brings these skills and his passion to help the health providers meet their professional and financial goals through Value Health Partners.
