Event Synopsis:
As Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) amends the Physician Self-Referral Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Stark Law”) from time to time, it is imperative for health care providers to keep themselves informed of the impact of those changes on their overall compliance. In November 2015, CMS released the 2016 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule (the “2016 Final Rule”) which primarily “updates the physician self-referral regulations to accommodate delivery and payment system reform, to reduce burden, and to facilitate compliance.”
Health care providers and other stakeholders should assess the 2016 Final Rule carefully because any change to the Stark Law affects the structure of existing physician arrangements and considerations in entering into future physician arrangements.
In this two-hour live Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help health care providers and other industry participants understand the Final Rule and other recent developments to the Stark Law. They will offer best practices in developing and implementing effective strategies for complying with current Stark Law issues and will provide the audience with discussion on the future of Stark Law and related upcoming compliance issues.
Key topics include:
• The 2016 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule
• Implications of the Final Rule
• Risks and Pitfalls
• Best Compliance Practices
• Regulatory Forecasts on Possible Stark Law Revamp/Repeal
