Healthcare Fraud Investigations and Enforcement Expanding—Training for CPAs and Financial Consultants Required
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) November 01, 2013 -- The medical practice arena represents a constantly changing dynamic with unique challenges that certified public accountants (CPA) and other financial professionals must understand in order to effectively perform as either a valuator or consultant for their clients.
“Fraud investigations and enforcement are expanding. Because of such expansion, healthcare providers, and their consultants, must know and understand the risks that exist, how to manage the risks and implement appropriate safeguards and monitoring mechanisms, and report any detected overpayment," says Robert A. Wade, Partner at Krieg DeVault LLP in Mishawaka, IN. "Clients expect consultants to have an understanding of the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, and False Claims Act. Consultants must have an understanding of these laws so they can better assist their clients in this very regulated industry.”
At the Healthcare Valuation and Consulting Workshop, December 10-13 in Las Vegas, NV, lead instructor Wade and other foremost healthcare experts will offer unique insights how CPAs and other financial professionals can minimize their clients’ risk and protect against fraud and enforcement actions.
"I enjoyed the industry specificity, relevance to current events, and business climate that was presented. The workshop provided real practice discussion and healthcare specific tips and traps,” states Thomas M. Lohr, CPA, CVA, with Kositzka, Wicks, & Company in Fairfax, VA, who attended a recent Healthcare Valuation and Consulting Workshop.
The four-day Workshop includes the following courses and will be offered December 10-13, 2013 in Las Vegas, NV:
Understanding the Regulatory Environment of Healthcare Reimbursements and Forms of Healthcare Reimbursement
Provider Organizational Structures, Performance Metrics, and Benchmarking
Understanding, Structuring, and Valuing Physician Compensation Arrangements
Advanced Topics and Healthcare Valuation Forum
