Physician Contracting Compliance Risk ChecklistMD Ranger, Inc.
How does your organization ensure its financial relationships with physicians are compliant with federal regulations? To help determine whether or not they might have a physician contracting compliance risk, we created a checklist.
This webinar will cover all elements of our checklist, and integrate best practices from other healthcare organizations. Key topics discussed will be:
--Current regulations and penalties
--Contract organization, analysis
--FMV documentation processes
Both Stark and AKS require that physician contracting rates be negotiated at fair market value. What the regulations don’t include is explicit, tactical advice for how to determine and document FMV. Physician contract compliance can be less of a headache if your organization takes a planned, methodical approach to obtaining and recording payment rates.
These slides will cover:
-What FMV means
-Various methods to determine FMV
-Strategies for efficient documentation
Conduct risk beyond the rulebook bovill briefing march 2014Bovill
Bovill - the UK financial services regulatory consultancy - runs regular briefings. These are the slides from the March briefing on Conduct Risk. For more information visit www.bovill.com.
Further information on the event is below:
Conduct Risk: beyond the rule book
“One of the features of regulation, historically, was that it was all about compliance. Were a particular set of rules followed? Could a firm demonstrate and document that it had followed those rules to the letter? This created a cottage industry out of compliance – but did not necessarily lead to good outcomes…””
Martin Wheatley, CEO, Financial Conduct Authority
The FCA rulebook still matters, as any firm who has had a brush with the rules on client money and assets will know. However, the financial crisis showed that traditional compliance can mean the firm only knows what went wrong yesterday. Understanding what might happen tomorrow is equally important.
Managing Conduct Risk is now a key FCA expectation. It involves understanding what outcomes will flow from today’s actions – for the firm, its customers and the financial markets more broadly. And the Conduct Risk agenda is now more likely to involve smaller firms.
Bovill’s briefing looked at Conduct Risk and covered:
• What is Conduct Risk and where did the idea come from?
• What regulatory powers does the FCA use in its approach?
• How can you manage Conduct Risk?

RISK-ACADEMY’s guide on risk appetite in non-financial companies. Free downloadAlexei Sidorenko, CRMP
Risk appetite refers to an individual or organization’s willingness to take on risks in pursuit of potential returns. It is an important consideration for businesses, as it can determine the types of investments and strategic decisions they make. A high risk appetite may lead to a focus on high-growth, speculative investments, while a low risk appetite may result in a preference for more conservative, steady returns. It is important for businesses to carefully assess and manage their risk appetite in order to make informed decisions and achieve their financial goals.
But before beginning the conversation about risk appetite, it is important to remember that most non financial organizations have already documented their appetites for different common decisions or business activities. Segregation of duties, financing and deal limits, vendor selection criteria, credit limits, treasury limits on banks, investment criteria, zero tolerance to fraud or safety risks – are all examples of how organizations set risk appetite.
What is risk appetite:
10% of the time risk appetite is imposed by laws and regulations, not set – Often risk appetite is imposed by government, regulators, markets, not set by management. Examples include zero-tolerances or limits on safety, bribery and corruption, AML, pollution, sanctions, privacy.
10% of the time risk appetite is the gentlemen’s agreement between Board and management – Boards have an important oversight role and help them set the direction and boundaries for management decision making. Those management decision making boundaries is risk appetite. Examples include deal approvals only by Board above a certain limit, limits on holding percentage of cash in certain pre-approved banks, market risk limits, credit risk limits, insurance thresholds, rules on credit limits for certain types of customers, limits on investments in different countries, etc.
80% of the time risk appetite is the risk reward trade-off for a specific decision – The key is making uncertainty around decisions presented to the Board transparent to allow decision makers choose the alternative which offers the most appropriate risk reward balance according to their individual appetites.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

In addition to the main adviser companies we also provide detailed research on the other main market participants. We quote all main providers as well as banks and direct providers for life and Trauma.
Rather than just looking at the legal requirements and make it a session around the code requirements we have based this session around key questions you maybe asked and how QM can help you approach these. to demonstrate. We have structured these around Challenges
We think that you all provide great advice and have done for many years. Many of you have dedicated your life to helping and supporting clients through many tough and stressful situation. For you the client has always been at the center on your advice. You now find yourself at the center of a process that is questioning your advice and you will need to change to respond. For many it will not change the advice that you provide, what you will need to do is demonstrate how you have provided the advice. This session is designed to show you how research and particularly how our product can support you in that process. We are still responding to these changes and still await the final disclosure requirements but will be ready to support you when the new environment goes live. So your are getting pressured from all these different stakeholders.
We are not telling you how to sell and which provider to recommend. The regulator is also not telling you what you need to do. Our regulatory environment is not prescriptive (apart from disclosure) it means that you have control of how you recommend and the process you use.
“flexibility” This enable you to ensure that the client is at the center and you are able to design a process that meets their needs.
Does not require significant investment in your own platform
Cost associated with licensing are not significant to be a FAP
Essential infrastructure is not expensive as many platforms can support your advice on a per month basis just like us (SAS)
You maybe faced with many questions from all the different areas. Client Regulator, disputes, insurers
You need to have a provider selection process that is defendable on how you arrived at the provider that is not commission based. This is governed by the nature and scope of service so will be dependent on who you have agency’s with but many advisers will start at a level as the market as a whole and eliminate providers that do not meet the clients specific needs. This could revolve around price product options and product features and benefits. Our tool provides you the ability to compare the market quickly and effectively not just on price but quality. Let me show you how that works. FOLLOWED BY A LIVE DEMONSTRATION
Advisers will need to ensure that when doing a comparison they ensure the client understands which products the adviser is able to sell and or which products they can give advice on. If they have access to only on Provider this should be clearly described and the limits in Advice is explained. You could provide the option to provide advice on adviser products but could change a fee for this service. FOLLOWED BY A LIVE DEMONSTRATION
This is a key pressure point when it comes to the regulator and life and health companies. You will need to demonstrate that you have analysed and have clearly demonstrated these to the client. . FOLLOWED BY A LIVE DEMONSTRATION
You will need to ensure you have and the client have a clear understanding of what the client is covered for and how your solution meet those needs. We provide a SOA writing tool in AdviceMonster which does automate this process for you. Interesting we are already discussing with advisers the issue around providing differing service models for different types of clients. FOLLOWED BY A LIVE DEMONSTRATION
It is clear that to enable you to cover this key issue of suitability you will need to have a detailed report when advice is given. Think that limiting advice to execution only will be a thing of the past except in limited circumstances. Certainly companies that use advisers on a non-advice basis will find it more difficult to operate. With the last couple of reviews from FMA/ RBNZ product providers will need to ensure suitability of product for clients. This is good for advisers as that is what you do. FOLLOWED BY A LIVE DEMONSTRATION
Our research is value based and I do get a number of adviser asking how this is different. Many research companies take a feature based approach which essentially provides fixed scores for adding additional items to a product. So if a company adds say Mad Cow disease they may provide an extra 5 points. We may add these points but would adjust this based on the likelihood (or value) to the client. To determine the value to a client we have a four-factor methodology.
These are the factors we take into consideration
If we look at a research report we list each item we rate on the left and since this is Trauma we can see that Cancer is top of the list. This is sorted the highest at top so the numbers mean the likelihood someone will claim. AIA has a cancer score of 43.46 which indicates that we estimate that AIA will pay roughly that proportion of the benefit of the policy, based on the policy wording weighted by the claim proportion (excluding the value of non-sum insured features).
Look at the difference for a female. Much higher cancer claims so any differences in cancer wording has a greater impact on females than males. However heart attack means more to males. .
We have three service options. 1. Is a pricing report which provides details of all the companies and pricing breakdown based on Life and product.
Research which provides same pricing plus pricing for banks and detailed research for over 26 companies. This all includes the research report.
