Regulatory Sprint to Coordinate Care Webinars

To help accelerate the transformation of the US healthcare system from a fee-for-service to a value-based system, the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) launched its “Regulatory Sprint to Coordinated Care” initiative, which aims to reduce the regulatory burden that hinder innovation. Proposed rules on changes to the physician self-referral law (known as the Stark Law) and the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) regulations arrived in October 2019, leaving the health industry with a great deal to review before the comment period closes on December 31, 2019.

McDermott is offering our clients and friends a three-part webinar series to unpack the proposed rules, which represent some of the most significant changes to these regulations in the last decade. The series will explore three key areas: the Value-Based Arrangements and Patient Incentives, Stark Law regulatory burden reduction, and significant AKS safe harbor proposals and cybersecurity and electronic medical records (EMR).

• November 19, 2019 | Value-Based Arrangements and Patient Incentives
• November 21, 2019 | Stark — Did CMS Reduce the Burden?
• December 5, 2019 | AKS Changes + Cybersecurity/EMR
