SUMMARY:Kickbacks and Other Compliance Issues for Discharge Planners
DESCRIPTION:\n\nNDHA is an approved provider of continuing education by the North Dakota Board of Examiners for Nursing Home Administrators.\n\n\n\n\nDate: 9/27/2022\n10:00 – 11:00 AM Central time\n\n \nRegistration fees:       $175 per NDHA member  |  $225 per non-member\nTARGET AUDIENCE:\nChief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officer, Case Managers/Discharge Planners, Compliance Officer, Joint Commission Coordinator, Medical Records, Quality Improvement personnel, Risk Manager, Legal Counsel.\nOVERVIEW:\nHospital case managers and discharge planners handle a number of legal issues. As the primary enforcer of fraud prohibitions, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has targeted case managers and discharge planners for accepting kickbacks from post-acute providers that receive referrals from them. These include long-term care facilities, assisted living facilities (ALFs), home health agencies and hospices. Kickbacks are provided in a variety of forms, including gift cards. In addition, case managers and discharge planners are dealing with issues of the  appropriate role of coordinators or liaisons from post-acute providers. For example, when can coordinators or liaisons become involved in the discharge planning process? At what level are they allowed to help prepare patients for discharge? Join this webinar to learn more about these issues, including a discussion on compliance with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) hospital conditions of participation (CoPs) for discharge planning.\n \n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\nAt the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:\n\nIdentify the federal statute that prohibits case managers and discharge planners from receiving kickbacks from post-acute providers.\nDescribe the kinds of kickbacks applicable to case managers and discharge planners.\nDiscuss fraud and abuse compliance issues related to hospital CoPs for discharge planners and case managers.\n\n \nSPEAKER:\nElizabeth E.
