Litigation is rampant in the home health field — and it's not just about billing and coding. It's also about other practices that could lead to compliance problems, such as substandard employment practices or failing to run background checks. A lawsuit against your agency could come completely out of left field. But you can avoid getting blind—sided and protect your agency. Corporate Compliance in Home Health: Establishing a Plan, Managing the Risks gives home health care providers practical, down—to—earth standards for controlling and preventing losses growing out of corporate compliance. With this new resource from Aspen, get an up—to—date and easy—to—understand review of the law of corporate compliance, find out how the new OIG (Office of the Inspector General of HCFA) model compliance guidance for hospitals impacts home health, and uncover where your agency is at risk. You'll find out what to do if and when your agency comes under investigation, and get important, timely federal reference material from the GAO to HHS, and key parts of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
