Overview:

This webinar will provide a focused analysis of recent cases and enforcement actions initiated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) and its law enforcement partners throughout 2024.

We will begin with a refresher on the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS), examine its safe harbor provisions—including the newly proposed safe harbor for coordinated care and value-based arrangements—and review significant OIG Advisory Opinions and relevant AKS case law from the current year.

Why you should Attend:

This program is essential for healthcare executives, physicians, and other providers who bill Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal healthcare programs. Recent enforcement actions underscore that many common commercial practices are considered criminal offenses under federal healthcare fraud and abuse statutes.

Hospital executives and healthcare providers should be acutely aware of the government's increasing use of the AKS as a primary tool for enforcing these laws. A major area of concern is that violations of the AKS and the Stark Law (the physician self-referral law) can serve as the basis for lawsuits under the Federal False Claims Act, significantly escalating the legal and financial risks.

During this session, you will gain a clear understanding of the core components of the AKS, along with the critical exceptions and safe harbors that offer protection from enforcement. This knowledge is vital, as healthcare fraud and abuse continues to be a top priority for government enforcement agencies.

Areas Covered in the Session:

  • Fundamentals of the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS)

  • An Overview of AKS Safe Harbors

  • Analysis of Recent OIG Advisory Opinions

  • Summary of 2024 Enforcement Actions by OIG and Partners

  • Review of Pertinent Case Law

Who Will Benefit:

  • Hospital Executives (including CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CNOs, and CMOs)

  • Physicians

  • Physician Practice Managers

  • Executives of Other Healthcare Provider Organizations
