Duration: 60 minutes
Recorded on: 1/21/2021

On December 2, 2020, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued final rules that amend the safe harbors to the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS).  On the same date, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued final rules that amend the exceptions to the Stark Self-Referral Law.

The purpose of these final rules is to remove potential regulatory barriers to care coordination and value-based care, part of the Regulatory Sprint by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to accelerate the transformation of the health care system into one that better pays for value and promotes care coordination. 

In this webinar, FTLF attorney Adam Falcone will provide an overview of the new exceptions and safe harbors for value-based care and explain the framework that OIG and CMS have used to define value-based.  The course will also cover how the new exceptions and safe harbors might provide protections to health centers that participate in value-based arrangements.

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
