Anti-Kickback Statute 2021
The AKS is currently the focus of law enforcement officials. The Statute
provides that the offeror payment, as well as the solicitation or receipt, of any
remuneration” in exchange for referrals of any good, facility, service, or item for
which payment may be made in whole or in part under Medicare/Medicaid is
prohibited.
Recent cases and/or enforcement actions involving the Anti-Kickback Statute,
violation of which has been held to be the basis of an action under the Federal
False Claims Act, (“FCA”) raise serious concerns regarding compliance issues
with hospital, physician practices, and other healthcare entities. Recoveries
under the FCA are at an all-time high, and the percentage of actions involving
healthcare organizations has been increasing at exponential rates.

8. Why Should You Attend
Anti-Kickback Statute 2021
Anti-Kickback Statute 2021 is designed for health care executives, physicians, and
other health care providers and their managers who participate in and receive
remuneration from Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care programs
such as TriCare. Several recent cases bring home the realization that many
activities that are common in other industries are a crime under federal healthcare
fraud and abuse laws.
Hospital executives, as well as physicians and/or other health care providers,
should be very concerned about the potential for the government to use the Anti-
Kickback Statute as one of the prime methods for enforcing federal fraud and abuse
laws. Equally concerning, along with Stark II (the federal physician anti-referral
law), the Anti-Kickback Statute can be and is being used as the basis for an action
brought under the Federal False Claims Act. In this webinar, you will learn about
the elements of the Anti-Kickback Statute, along with the various exceptions and
safe harbors that you can rely on for protection against enforcement under these
laws. This is important because healthcare fraud and abuse if becoming the focus
of these enforcement efforts.
