Event Synopsis:

Soaring budget deficits have put healthcare under intense scrutiny and subjected an entire industry to a national debate.

The panelists will address key topics, including:
• Preparing company spokesmen: potential pitfalls and strategies to mitigate risk
• Identifying risks and benefits from proactively approaching the government, including HHS-OIG or DOJ

• Addressing emerging issues in the assessment and valuation of litigation or enforcement risk
