Avoiding Fraudulent Business Schemes in Health Care

In today’s health care environment, many physicians have fallen victim to entering into business arrangements that are either ill-conceived, illegitimate or formed with fraudulent intent and sometimes also lead to Medicare and Medicaid fraud.

The negative impact of fraud is vast because it diverts resources meant to care for patients while simultaneously increasing all healthcare costs. This webinar will describe the types and trends of common fraudulent business schemes in the health care space, as well as touch on Medicare and Medicaid fraud that are typically committed through these illegitimate business arrangements.

Topics for discussion will include:

• Recommendations on red flags to look out for and other detection methods and recommendations for health care providers and patients to protect themselves against fraud and avoid entering into such arrangements.
  
  
• Potential regulatory issues, administrative and civil issues, as well as potential criminal consequences that health care providers can face in these situations.
  
  
• Guidance as to how the arrangements can be set up correctly to limit administrative, civil and criminal liability.
