Understanding the Complexities of Kickback Investigations

Registration is now closed. If you have questions please contact training@nhcaa.org.

In today’s health care landscape, remuneration provided in exchange for patient referrals has taken a new approach. Although traditional “pay-to-play” schemes are still around, they have evolved, becoming more complex and difficult to identify. Through examples of kickback cases in the health care industry that were successfully investigated and prosecuted, along with current trends being seen across the country, the audience will be given a variety of pointers, techniques, and advice, including charging decisions when commercial health care plans are affected.

A discussion of emerging trends in kickback investigations will be also be presented, including the use of MSOs, rural hospitals (pass-thru billing) and shell companies that are used to disguise the true objective of the kickback arrangement, along with suggestions and tips on how to best identify, investigate and charge them.
