The Health Care Compliance Toolkit: Best Practices for Compensating and Contracting With Physicians

This webinar will include a “Contracting Toolkit” of best practices that healthcare organizations can follow to avoid compliance traps.  The session will also recap trends in government and whistleblower enforcement.

Why should you attend?

There have been a number of recent enforcement actions, several with damages in the hundreds of millions of dollars.  Because of the significant exposure, healthcare organizations need to understand the requirements and emerging best practices to manage their compliance and enterprise risk.

Areas Covered in the Webinar Session:

• Summarize the enforcement trends and the “Three Key Tenets of Defensibility.”
• Provide a focused review of the technical requirements of the health care laws.
• Describe emerging physician contracting compliance traps.
• Discuss best practices for enhancing defensibility.

Background:

Any time a healthcare organization enters into a financial arrangement with a physician, the arrangement must comply with the federal laws that are unique to the healthcare industry (e.g., the Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, Civil Monetary Penalties Law, False Claims Act, etc.). 

Compliance in this area is critical, especially with employment, medical directors, call coverage or other service contracts, recruitment agreements, individual and group compensation plans, leases for space or equipment, and virtually any other type of arrangement.

Who will benefit:

• Health Care Compliance Officers
• Governing Board Members, Trustees and Directors
• Health Care Executives
• In-House Counsel
• Health Care Human Resources
• Health Care CFOs
