This webinar will focus on cases and enforcement actions taken by the HHS OIG and its law enforcement partners in 2023. We will also briefly review the Anti-Kickback Statute (“AKS”), discuss safe harbors, particularly the new proposed safe harbor for coordinated care and associated value-based arrangements, and OIG Advisory Opinions that have been issued in 2023, as well as pertinent cases involving the AKS.
