Given the substantial awards and settlements in recent enforcement actions, Stark Law compliance has become more than just a compliance issue: it is an enterprise risk management issue. As medical groups, hospitals, and health systems transition to more innovative compensation structures, this training program will focus on managing compliance and enterprise risk by ensuring their medical director and administrative arrangements are defensible under the Stark Law.
This session will provide an overview of the Anti-Kickback and Stark Law, including its 2016 changes. It will also discuss best practices for negotiating and drafting medical director arrangements on behalf of health systems, hospitals and medical groups. The webinar will focus on key provisions that should be included and potential pitfalls that should be avoided.
Why Should You Attend:
