Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar with Q&A
Conducted on Thursday, February 17, 2011
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide guidance to healthcare counsel on complying with the program integrity provisions of the PPACA. The panel will outline immediate updates needed to providers' policies and practices to avoid government enforcement actions and increased liability exposure.
Description
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) contains several significant new requirements related to program integrity that require immediate attention and action by healthcare providers and their counsel.
The program integrity provisions set forth new expectations for healthcare entities in the areas of regulatory compliance, disclosure, transparency, and quality of care. The enforcement provisions accompanying the program integrity requirements significantly increase providers' liability exposure.
To ensure compliance with the PPACA and avoid civil and criminal penalties, counsel to hospitals and providers must understand the full impact of the new program integrity provisions on business operations and advise their clients to immediately update and enhance their policies and practices.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys discusses recent developments related to program integrity and explains steps hospitals and providers should take now to ensure compliance with the program integrity provisions of the PPACA.
