Recent laws and regulations emphasize the government's focus on scrutinizing the actions of hospitals, home care services, physician practices, long-term care facilities, DMEPOS suppliers and other health care providers. Recent laws will require organizations that bill the Medicare Program to have an effective compliance program. Implementing an effective compliance program is now a necessity to assure the health care organization's commitment to complying with state and federal law. This distinguished panel of experienced corporate compliance officers will share their thoughts, observations and experiences regarding the challenges and benefits of implementing and maintaining an effective compliance program in a health care organization. Interact with these experts as they (1) identify ways to create a culture of compliance, (2) address ways to enhance the effectiveness of existing compliance programs, (3) explore proactive measures to improve the curtailment of fraud, waste and abuse, (4) highlight practical ways to audit and monitor compliance, (5) discuss the potential impact of new regulations affecting health care compliance, and (6) explain how resources for corporate compliance programs can remain sufficient with shrinking budgets or uncertain revenue streams.
You should attend this program if you are an owner, officer, director, manager, administrator, compliance officer or in-house attorney of any health care organization that receives federal or state reimbursements for services, including an academic medical center, ambulance provider, clinical laboratory, DMEPOS supplier, hospital, long-term care facility, managed care organization, MA Plan, Part D Plan, pharmaceutical manufacturer, pharmacy, physician group or skilled nursing facility.
