Program Information:
Virtually every facet of the healthcare industry is subject to a complex web of federal and state laws, rules and regulations. Government efforts to enforce these laws, and punish violators, have become increasingly common and successful. The consequences of an enforcement action, regardless of the outcome, can be ruinous for providers and suppliers. In this climate, the need to understand and function in an ever-changing compliance landscape has never been greater. Our distinguished faculty will guide you through a variety of today's most important compliance issues.
