The New Stark Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol: What It Says, What It Means, and What It Holds for the Future
Please join us as Foley Health Care Industry attorneys Heidi A. Sorensen, Lawrence C. Conn, and Maria Gonzalez Knavel provide an in-depth examination of CMS’ Stark Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol (SRDP) as mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA). We’ll explain in clear and concise terms what the SRDP says and what it means for an organization’s disclosure obligations and choices going forward.
For many years, organizations have been facing an increasingly confusing process for determining how and where to disclose Stark law violations. The highly anticipated SRDP represents the government’s response to this uncertainty.
Topics include:
- How the SRDP relates to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) previously existing self-disclosure protocol
- Whether providers are limited to selecting the OIG in disclosing conduct that potentially implicates both the Stark law and the Anti-kickback Statute
- How the SRDP impacts disclosures to the U.S. Attorney’s Office
- Whether the disclosure to either CMS or the OIG will suspend PPACA’s 60-day repayment requirement pending processing of the disclosure
