Audio-Conference Description
Audio-Conference Description Many post-acute providers, including home health agencies, hospices, private duty companies, and HME suppliers, have legitimate needs for the services of physicians. These physicians often make referrals to providers who pay them for services as Medical Directors, medical advisors, or consulting physicians. This means that these arrangements must comply with the federal anti-kickback statute (AKS) and, in many instances, the Stark law. Enforcers often focus on these relationships. In fact, it’s probably fair to say that if enforcers can’t find any other compliance problems, they will take action regarding relationships with referring physicians. The purpose of this presentation is to help providers comply with applicable requirements so they can avoid enforcement actions. “Myths” will be dispelled. How can providers get within applicable safe harbors under the AKS? What must providers do to comply with Stark laws? Practically speaking, what exactly must providers do? Gather your staff together, especially managers and marketing staff, to make sure they know what is allowed and what isn’t. There will be plenty of time for questions and comments, and extensive handouts will be provided.
