Healthcare Providers and Voluntary Disclosures: Evaluating If, When, and How to Report to CMS, DOJ, or OIG

This CLE course will guide healthcare counsel on voluntary disclosure. The panel will also discuss evaluating the risks and rewards of disclosing potential violations. The panel will outline strategies for healthcare providers and counsel in deciding if, what, when, and how to report potential violations.

Enforcement against healthcare fraud and abuse continues to be a top priority. Violations can involve anything from simple error to intentional conduct.

Healthcare providers must evaluate their potential violations to determine whether, how, and to whom to report. Providers should have in place a whistleblower process so they can investigate areas of concern and determine if there are violations that require self-disclosure. Counsel to healthcare providers must understand the potential tools for resolving Stark Law or Anti-Kickback Statute violations. The options have never been so varied as they are now, with each pathway presenting advantages and disadvantages.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines the revised OIG self-disclosure protocol, discusses how to report Stark Law and other violations, and offers best practices for both addressing potential violations and using OIG protocol.
