Compliance Plans – An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

Health care fraud and abuse cases continue to make headlines.  While those cases are not representative of most health care providers, they should at least cause some introspection into what “could” happen.  Not only is a compliance program important, but one that is effective could save an implicated organization millions of dollars and keep the doors open.  Whether you are part of a small family-owned pharmacy or part of a large chain organization, compliance should be part of your culture.  In the event of a compliance issue or concern, having a thorough and implemented compliance plan will mitigate any potential adverse effects.  While compliance plans are key in dealing with government investigations, there are other positive effects.  For example, having a compliance plan can help a pharmacy identify a problem well before the government or payor, allowing the pharmacy to take corrective action without being exposed to dire consequences.  This webinar will guide you through how to structure and implement a compliance program that will withstand scrutiny in the event of a compliance issue.
