Program Description:
Healthcare economic studies have suggested that the coordination of healthcare services throughout the continuum of care will improve the quality of care patients receive, creating cost efficiencies in the delivery of healthcare for payors and patients in this era of healthcare reform. Despite the benefits indicated from these studies, recent regulatory actions have challenged the legal permissibility of numerous integration platforms and the transactions forming them, including both consolidation and physician compensation involved in integration efforts. This webinar will examine the current regulatory environment surrounding vertical integration transactions in the healthcare industry, and detail the flawed premises that have ignored the economic principles in healthcare system delivery realities, and resulted in increased scrutiny.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Identify and describe the most recent federal fraud and abuse cases related to vertical integration and physician compensation.
- Recognize and explain the financial and economic arguments for coordinating healthcare services through mergers and acquisitions.
- Identify and describe the potential challenges surrounding the federal government's arguments regarding alleged fraud and abuse violations by healthcare providers.
