Conference on Auditing Physician Contracts Under the New 2016 Stark Rules

Overview: In this session Mr. Wolfe will provide an overview of the Stark Law and its 2016 changes. He will also discuss best practices for implementing and auditing physician compensation arrangements to minimize liability exposure and penalties, including conducting compliance audits, instituting policies, and establishing ongoing monitoring and review processes.

Why should you Attend: Given the substantial awards and settlements in recent Stark Law enforcement actions, Stark Law compliance has become more than just a compliance issue: it is an enterprise risk management issue. As medical groups, hospitals, and health systems pursue integration strategies and transition to more innovative hospital-physician arrangements, these organizations must manage their compliance and enterprise risk by ensuring their compensation arrangements are defensible under the Stark Law.

• Provide a general Stark Law Overview
• Explain the requirements for compliance with key regulatory exceptions
• Summarize the upcoming changes to the Stark Law for 2016
• Discuss the audit process and how to resolve issues that may arise during the audit process
