You Have 60 Days to Turn Yourself In: Complying with Recent Medicare Amendments Requiring Disclosure of Overpayments

Recent amendments to the federal fraud, false claims, and antikickback statute now impose an obligation on providers to affirmatively disclose and repay overpayments within 60 days of discovery.

This program will cover the significant ramifications of this new requirement and will answer such questions as:

What is an "overpayment?"

When is an overpayment "identified?"

What type of investigation must a provider conduct in order to make a proper disclosure?

What is the impact of 5th amendment rights?

Do both criminal and civil liability attach to failures to disclose?

These topics will be presented by Harry Nelson, managing partner of Fenton Nelson LLP, a firm that represents healthcare providers in regulatory compliance and business matters; and Benjamin N. Gluck, a Principal at Bird, Marella, Boxer, Wolpert, Nessim, Drooks & Lincenberg, a firm that specializes in white collar criminal defense and healthcare matters.
