When healthcare providers sign contracts for payment by third-party payers, they agree to comply with federal laws and regulations that pertain to medical practices. This session provides a valuable road map on the important steps practice administrators should take — from the numerous required specifications for HIPAA mandates to the probability of getting caught for violating a federal regulation, as well as the severity of the fines under the laws. Attendees will be able to take this knowledge of federal law and use it to mitigate risk and add peace of mind that these essential items for your practice have been addressed.
Learning Objectives:
Report high-risk areas of federal compliance, such as the False Claims Act, HIPAA, OSHA and HR regulations.
Demonstrate the importance for providers to have a working compliance plan.
Illustrate the probability of noncompliance based on current practice operations .
