Unfortunately, COVID-19 has now been with us for almost three years is still impacting health care policy and coverage.

Throughout the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), there have been waivers and flexibilities from CMS to ensure access to care and to give healthcare providers what they need to respond to the pandemic.

Join Jennifer Papapanagiotou, Partner, Liles Parker, PLLC as she guides providers through CMS’ expectations related to the end of the PHE and what agencies need to know while this transition occurs.

At the outset, it is important to keep in mind that there are significant differences between the OIG Exclusion List and the CMS Preclusion List. During this session, we will discuss your obligations, as a Medicare or Medicaid participating provider, to ensure that your employees, agents, contractors, and vendors have not been excluded from participation in Federal health care programs. We will also discuss the impact of the CMS Preclusion List on your employment and contracting practices.
Both OIG and CMS contractors are actively on the lookout for violations. In this presentation, we will discuss the importance of exclusion screening, how to screen and which exact databases must be screened – according to both Federal and state regulations, how often a provider must screen, and how providers must document their exclusion screening efforts in order to comply with the law.
Former DOJ prosecutors, Robert Liles and Paul Weidenfeld will also go over the purpose and nature of the CMS Preclusion List.

Approximately three years ago, the number of reasons that CMS can cite when revoking a Medicare provider’s billing privileges greatly expanded.

In this webinar, health lawyers Heidi Kocher and Ashley Morgan will discuss the current revocation actions being pursued by the government how your agency can reduce its risk of being subjected to such an adverse action.
