Auditing Hospital-Physician Arrangements for Stark Law Compliance: Key Legal Considerations for Health Systems, Hospitals and Medical Groups
Instructor:
Joseph Wolfe
Product ID: 704156
- Duration: 60 Min
Why Should You Attend:
Healthcare reform has invigorated the government's focus on healthcare fraud, including enforcement of the Stark Law. Improper design and implementation of physician arrangements can result in penalties, denial of payments, and exclusion from federal health care programs. Thus, ensuring Stark Law compliance will be critical for medical groups, hospitals and health systems looking to manage areas of enterprise risk.
Health care organizations should periodically audit their existing arrangements to ensure they are compliant with Stark’s technical requirements and key tenets of defensibility (e.g., fair market value, commercial reasonableness, and not taking into account designated health service referrals, etc.) in case their physician compensation arrangements are ever challenged.
This webinar will offer best practices for implementing and auditing physician compensation arrangements to minimize liability exposure and penalties, including conducting compliance audits, instituting policies, and establishing ongoing monitoring and reviews.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- General Stark Law overview
- Requirements for compliance with key regulatory exceptions and safe harbors

- Health Care Executives
