This intensive program provided practical information on some of the main legal issues affecting compliance professionals, including compliance counsel, in an interactive format. Given the current enforcement environment, there was an emphasis on Stark, Anti-Kickback and False Claims Act (FCA) issues. The goal was to give compliance officers the tools to:

• Gain access to the information needed to manage Stark/Anti-Kickback/FCA risks;
• Develop a Stark/Anti-Kickback/FCA oriented risk assessment protocol that applies to existing and new arrangements;
• Determine when an independent Fair Market Valuation should be sought;
• Identify payments and deadlines that must be tracked to ensure post-contract Stark/Anti-Kickback/FCA compliance;
• Develop strategies for handling non-compliance, including correcting mistakes whenever possible and understanding when self-disclosure may be appropriate;
• Structuring and conducting internal investigations, including optimizing the contribution of the compliance office in those investigations;
• And, educating leadership on the importance of and requirements for compliance in this area.
