Now, more than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic, home-based care has come to the forefront as a way to keep those at the highest risk for the virus at home while receiving the care they need under the watchful eye of a home care professional. Congress and federal agencies must take a series of steps to ensure retention and recruitment of a home care workforce with all available and proper safety equipment during the Public Health Emergency.

Part 2: Government Audits and Investigations
Wednesday, May 19, 2021 ; 2:00-3:00pm Eastern
Register for Webinar Register for Series
It’s no longer a question of “if” you will be subject to a government audit or investigation, merely a question of “when.” So, prepare now to mitigate the damage and help avoid (or at least prolong) the inevitable. Unchecked billing errors can literally threaten the very existence of your organization. Learn what auditors will be looking for and how you can respond both in advance and during an investigation, whether it’s the OIG, DOJ, UPIC, ADR, or one of the many other alphabet soup agencies who may come knocking.
Information on the Series
Beginning in May and continuing through December, NAHC will bring together the top experts in the industry to examine the most important legal topics in home care and hospice.
Home care and hospice is a highly regulated industry, as such, it forces providers to maintain a strong working knowledge of a bewildering array of legal issues just to stay in business — fortunately, NAHC has a solution. This 10-part webinar series offers an in-depth and practical analysis of the key legal topics every home care and hospice executive should understand.
Every part of your organization is impacted by legal and regulatory trends, that’s why we provide insight and guidance for everyone in your organization from clinical to finance to legal. These webinars will help your entire organization stay ahead of the curve.
