Senior Counsel Lena Robins will be speaking in a live audio conference titled “Risk Assessments 2008: Manage Top Risks from the DRA, Stark, and Medicaid” sponsored by HcPro, Inc. on Wednesday, October 3, 2007 at 12:00 p.m. Central.
Ms. Robins will be presenting with Robert A. Wade, Esq., Partner at Baker and Daniels, LLP and Debi Weatherford, Audit Director at CHAN Healthcare Auditors from Atlanta, Ga.
Between the Deficit Reduction Act, Medicaid enforcement, Stark, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and proposed regulatory changes, how will you keep up and help your facility identify and manage risks as 2007 comes to a close and new rules and enforcement priorities for 2008 loom on the horizon?
An efficient risk-assessment process can save you considerable time, because you’ll be able to focus on your organization’s top vulnerabilities. Organizations can use the results of their risk assessment process to map out their audit and compliance plans. In 2008, it’s more important than ever for compliance professionals to economize their risk-assessment procedures and focus on high-priority areas that cause their facility the greatest potential liability.
