Preparing Yourself and Your Clients for the Mandatory Corporate Compliance Deadline 

Under Sections 6102 and 6401 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes are required to have in place a compliance and ethics program that is effective in preventing and detecting criminal, civil, and administrative violations and in promoting quality care. To date, however, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has yet to promulgate regulations governing the statutory requirement. With the deadline to have a plan in place by March 23, 2013, nursing home providers need to develop a basic plan now.

This webinar will:

• Review the essential structure and elements of an effective nursing home corporate compliance program based on existing guidance and the provisions of the ACA;
  
• Offer practical information to create a meaningful corporate compliance program; and
  
• Provide understanding regarding how CMS guidance necessary to implement the ACA’s compliance mandate is likely to impact providers.
