This CLE course will guide healthcare counsel on the legal obligations, benefits, incentives, and risks of reporting and repaying improper Medicare and Medicaid payments. The panel will offer best practices for complying with the requirements for reporting and returning overpayments.

Description

Healthcare providers must report and return overpayments to Medicare and Medicaid, regardless of whether the overpayment resulted from a Medicare contractor error or provider error. Overpayments occur in a variety of circumstances—the claim was for services not covered by Medicare or not medically necessary, the payment was for a higher level of services than were performed, the claim was submitted in violation of the Stark law violation, etc.

Providers that fail to report and refund overpayments within 60 days risk violating the False Claims Act.

Healthcare providers must determine the amount of overpayment, the reporting and refund obligations, and the government's recovery rights when considering whether and when to make disclosures and repayments to Medicare and Medicaid.

Listen as our authoritative panel of health law attorneys examines the legal obligations, benefits, incentives and risks of disclosure and repayment, and the impact of the ACA on mandatory repayment requirements. The panel will offer best practices for complying with the requirements for reporting and returning overpayments.
