Description
This webinar will feature a discussion of common trends, best practices, and issues in structuring call coverage arrangements in light of the recent OIG Advisory Opinion 09-05. The discussion will include perspectives of hospitals and physicians who provide call coverage, as well as participation from the OIG. The exact topics covered will be largely determined by way of a survey of the membership to determine preferences, but topics are likely to include such concerns as the supply of available physicians, how to maintain continuous coverage, viable compensation structures, and how to avoid problematic coverage structures.
