Legal Issues in Age Management Medicine: A Discussion of Legal Compliance for Age Management Physicians
$35.00
This workshop will provide critical information and effective mitigation strategies for the most common compliance risks threatening age management physicians and their practices. These include: HIPAA/HITECH privacy and security requirements, including enforcement initiatives of the Office of Civil Rights; and Corporate Compliance issues, including OIG enforcement of the Stark law, the Anti-kickback Statute, and relevant state-based statutes and regulations. The focus of this workshop will be risk management and liability avoidance through internal policy development, self-auditing, and other proactive risk prevention strategies. The Stark law, the Anti-kickback statute, and the Anti-Inducement provisions of HIPAA are a source of confusion for most lawyers, lets alone physicians. This seminar will provide a summary of each law – and their state-based equivalents – in plain English.
