Overview: The presentation will provide an overview of the Federal
STARK AND ANTI-KICKBACK LAWS AND CORRESPONDING REGULATIONS INCLUDING
THE HISTORY AND PURPOSE OF THESE LAWS. The presenter will provide the
background upon which these laws were determined to be necessary and
developed. The attendees will be provided with an overview and
description of the laws, why they were instituted, what they do and do
not cover and who they are and are not applicable to. Once the basic
constructs of the laws themselves are reviewed, the presenter will
then go over the most common exceptions to these laws. Exceptions
include specific scenarios in which the law allows physicians,
practices and providers to participate in activities that may
otherwise be deemed prohibited under both laws. Attendees will learn
how these laws are different and why, even though they are different,
they are very often "lumped" together and referred to simultaneously.
Moreover, attendees will get a brief overview of how these laws may
interact with other laws and regulations and guidance on how to
interpret similar state laws in the overall context of the federal
requirements. The presenter will go through several common examples of
the most frequent scenarios that get physicians in trouble under these
laws including, subleasing, leasing from other physicians, laboratory
partnerships, accepting gifts from colleagues or contractors,
contractor agreements and more! Do not become a statistic! You are not
working hard to build your practice to end up losing it all -
attendance at this webinar will provide a core understanding of what
is required of physicians, health care providers, practices and
ancillary services providers and attendees will leave with a strong
understanding of what is good in their practice, and what may need to
be modified immediately. Why you should Attend: Physicians, health
care providers, practice managers and anyone who works in for or with
a medical practice of any kind can gain valuable knowledge about the
"red flags" of FRAUD. Red flags can be anything from unusually high
volume of reimbursement to unclear division between two separate
medical practices functioning in the same space. FRAUD CAN RESULT IN A
THRIVING MEDICAL PRACTICE SUDDENLY BECOMING A RECIPIENT OF THE FEDERAL
PRISON RETIREMENT PLAN AND THIS CONCERNS ALL MEMBERS OF THE PRACTICE,
not just the physicians. In recent headlines, we have all seen
physicians, laboratory owners, practice managers and billers being
walked out of various offices in handcuffs. This is not what you want
your practice to be famous for. Medical practices, physicians and
health care providers cannot accept payment for referrals, but do you
know what the federal government considers a "payment for a referral"?
If you have a sublease that is not in writing, or is not quite for
fair market value, you may be giving/receiving a KICKBACK.If you take
a colleague to lunch and pick up the bill, you may be giving/receiving
a KICKBACK. When it comes to federal law, ignorance is not bliss and
is certainly not an excuse or a defense when caught in the crosshairs
of the federal STARK OR ANTI-KICKBACK LAWS. Educate yourself and
protect yourself. Areas Covered in the Session: Federal bases for
