Thank you for this excellent program.
Very well organized and useful topics ..liked the emphasis on technology/cybersecurity aspects of healthcare
Good information. Thank you.
Excellent course. Some of the information is in my specific practice area and it helps to hear confirmation of my perspective. Some of the information is in areas where I don't practice much, as in employment law or cybersecurity, and is very valuable. Overall, a continuation of the quality of the high quality of the annual program.
Excellent conference. Sorry it took me so long to get through it! Wish I'd been able to attend in person as well.
Personally, I would like more lectures covering administrative (TMB/Licensure issues.)

MACRA, MIPS and More: Making it all Manageable (Apr 2017)
2016 saw the publication of the MACRA proposed rule, the receipt and review of over 4,000 public comments, and the publication of the final rule. Its provisions contain requirements that fundamentally will change payment of healthcare for Medicare Part B services, impacting both those providers and organizations that contract with them. While payment changes do not go into effect until 2019, those payments will be based off of data created and gathered in 2017. Thus, the time is now. This presentation focuses on understanding the fundamental MACRA platform, focusing on the MIPS portions; the implications of these vast changes, including changes to behavior, delivery of care, operations, finances, and beyond; and the reality of the transition for the near future.

Recent Trends in the False Claims Act and Government Enforcement (Apr 2017)
2016 proved to be a game changer in the area of False Claims Act (FCA) litigation and government enforcement. One of the most significant events of the year was the Supreme Court’s issuance of Universal Health Services v. U.S. ex rel. Escobar, a decision that declared implied certification theory the law of the land but also established a complex and rigorous materiality standard with which lower courts will grapple for years. In addition, 2016 saw the DOJ’s implementation of the Yates Memo, the DOJ’s interim final rule doubling penalties under the FCA, the Supreme Court’s decision declaring that a whistleblower’s violation of the seal does not result in automatic dismissal, and CMS’s issuance of the final Medicare Parts A/B 60 day rule. Hear a detailed overview of these and other significant developments in the ever-evolving area of government enforcement in the healthcare industry.
