Jeffrey Lynne, Esq.,
Description
Over the past 12-18 months, there has been a surge in audits and investigations of drug treatment program marketing and recruiting practices as part of a broader health plan and government regulatory focus on fraud, waste, and abuse. Due to a relaxed history of enforcement as a primarily "cash-pay" business prior to the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, the drug rehab space has developed a liberal culture of paying marketers for patients.  This presentation will address and provide insights into the key terms to understand the fraud and abuse minefield related to marketing; understanding Compliant Marketing; avoiding false or misleading or deceptive claims; and avoiding other legal violations in marketing.
 
Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:
  • Understand the fraud and abuse minefield related to marketing
  • Learn about avoiding false or misleading or deceptive claims
  • Understand compliant marketing.
