DOJ Compliance Updates Webinar: Enhancing Healthcare Fraud Prevention

This webinar will review the Department of Justice Compliance Updates released in March of 2023 are intended to be a tool for the prosecutors to utilize when they are investigating cases of potential healthcare fraud or abuse. We will review the importance of having a corporate compliance plan and the three questions provided by the DOJ that the prosecutor would be asking regarding a practice or facility’s compliance plan.
In addition, we will discuss the DOJ Compliance Updates which focus heavily on the risk management of the electronic communication channels, policies and procedures for these channels which includes the monitoring of the devices. Best practice for implementing or updating your current Compliance program, policies, procedures, monitoring, and investigations.
