New Stark and AKS Safe Harbors and Exceptions for Value-Based Care

January 21, 2021

Access the on-demand webinar here.

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.
