• An Update on Fraud and Abuse: What Every Hospice Needs to Know. Monday, Jan. 11, 3:00 pm ET.
The OIG has identified three key risk areas for hospices in its current work plan. The Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team (HEAT) was announced in May 2009. Changes to the Federal False Claims Act expand liability. And Medicare contractors will be targeting hospices for review. It is critical for hospices to understand the need for a robust compliance program and the risks specific to hospices in today’s regulatory climate.
Join hospice compliance expert Mary Michal for this one-hour audio event to learn the elements of an effective, comprehensive compliance plan, what your hospice risk areas are, and how to respond to today’s regulatory landscape.

• Hospice GIP and Continuous Care: From Compliance to Reimbursement. Monday, March 8, On-Demand. Protect yourself from claims denial disasters and fraud and abuse allegations.
The new Conditions of Participation, combined with the OIG work plan and CMS comments to the industry, along with the increase in hospice fraud investigations make it even more important to know the risks and take precautions when contracting with other providers -- especially when higher levels of care are involved.
Join expert Mary Michal for the 1-hour audio conference to learn to identify and address risks in your contractual relationships with hospitals and nursing facilities. Mary will walk through case studies that illustrate risk areas you face and how you can approach them.
Mary will also break down the anti-kickback statute and show you how to meet the safe harbor when you’re contracting with hospitals and nursing homes.
