Coronavirus Fraud and Abuse Issues: Protections and Pitfalls
Many federal agencies have weighed in with various waivers, policy statements and guidance regarding arrangements between and among health care providers and their patients to address the COVID-19 pandemic. These include several blanket waivers by CMS of sanctions under the Stark Law and an OIG Policy Statement declining to impose administrative sanctions under the Federal anti-kickback statute. These actions are helpful, but should not be a blanket license to ignore these laws. In this special podcast, HortySpringer partners Dan Mulholland and Henry Casale review the recent guidance, explain what you can and can’t do and look ahead to the potential for a tsunami of False Claims Act litigation once the pandemic subsides.
