Program Description
With the rising cost of physician contracting, health facilities are increasingly challenged to find new ways to control costs and document fair market value. This webinar will review federal regulations that govern physician contracting, including the Stark law, anti-kickback and anti-trust statutes, the False Claims Act, and the Disclosure of Financial Relationships Reporting guidelines.
There have been several significant settlements in the past two years between the federal government and hospitals and health systems, indicating the government is serious about enforcing these regulations. This webinar will discuss the factors influencing the rising cost of hospital-physician relationships in today's marketplace, and the requirements of documenting fair market value. It will also address the cost and market methods for evaluating fair market value as well as commercial reasonableness tests. Systematic approaches and tools to facilitate negotiations and evaluation and documentation of fair market value will be discussed.
Who Should Participate
CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CMOs, CNOs, compliance personnel, legal counsel, and others who may deal with physician contracting and other interested staff
