Don’t get caught with your compliance pants down! Did you know that the False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law for Physician Self-Referral are just a few of the regulations that have devastated hospitals who failed to remain compliant. Whether you are aware of the regulations or not, the DOJ has no tolerance for unintentional violations — filing false claims may result in fines of up to 3x the programs’ loss PLUS $11,000 per claim filed.
