MentorHealth to present webinar on "How to Avoid Penalties for Fraud and Abuse in Your Health Care Practice or Organization"

MentorHealth, a leading provider of online training for the healthcare industry, is organizing a webinar on November 13 on the topic, "How to Avoid Penalties for Fraud and Abuse in Your Health Care Practice or Organization".

Wilmington, DE (prHWY.com) October 22, 2012 - Description:
Providing good quality healthcare is one thing; making sure that the healthcare practice is both safe and complies with regulations is another. The fear of not meeting regulatory requirements often plays so heavily on healthcare providers' minds that they end up sacrificing good quality healthcare because of the fear of ending up in the regulators' dragnet.
This webinar is aimed at providing participants an understanding of how to maintain good quality healthcare while being compliant. It removes the fear psychosis that is often at the root of costly errors. It eradicates ignorance of the finer aspects of compliance with healthcare. This is quite the most important reason for which healthcare providers end up in the regulatory authorities' noose.
They may be unaware of whether a certain claim is allowable or not; or they may not be aware of the fine print of a certain provision of the law. However, that will not exonerate the healthcare provider, because justice is always administered on the basis of the old legal dictum, ignorantia juris non excusat, or "Ignorance of the law is no excuse".
This webinar will offer real life case examples in illustrating how a healthcare provider's activity could result in both fraud penalties and abuse penalties. It will cover the following areas:
o Defining fraud
o Fraud penalties with case examples
o Defining abuse
o Penalties for abuse with case examples
o Six tips for avoiding penalties for fraud and abuse
o Overview of the most common forms of fraud
o Overview of the most common forms of abuse
