Healthcare Regulatory Roundup
Twice each month, PYA experts discuss the latest industry developments as part of our popular Healthcare Regulatory Roundup (HCRR) webinar series. In addition to straightforward explanations of those developments and actionable guidance, attendees will be offered the chance to earn continuing professional education units in selected sessions.
Physician arrangements remain a significant area of regulatory and compliance risk. As compensation models, medical directorships, call coverage arrangements, professional services agreements, co-management agreements, recruitment arrangements, and other financial relationships evolve, organizations need to ensure those arrangements are appropriately structured, documented, and administered.
Effective oversight goes beyond obtaining a fair market value opinion or executing a contract. Organizations also need to consider whether arrangements are operationally compliant, supported by appropriate documentation and business purposes, and consistent with applicable federal and state regulatory requirements.
During this webinar, PYA Principal Tynan Kugler and Manager Erin Walker will provide a practical framework for reviewing physician arrangements through a regulatory compliance lens. They will discuss key regulatory considerations, common risk areas, compensation methodologies, supporting documentation, operational compliance, and leading practices for ongoing monitoring, governance, and oversight.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify key regulatory and compliance considerations affecting referral source arrangements.
- Evaluate whether physician arrangements have appropriate business justification, documentation, governance, and operational compliance.
