Legal Issues in Health Care Fraud and Abuse offers broad coverage of the full range of U.S. fraud and abuse prohibitions, with practical application for your work in health care today. Addressing the latest trends in investigation, enforcement, and interpretations of the law, author Laura Laemmle-Weidenfeld explains the sweeping changes seen in the health care industry, with over 600 pages of fully referenced real-world examples, updated annually with a cumulative supplement.

The need for an understanding of fraud and abuse principles is not limited to lawyers who prosecute or defend government investigations; it extends to all professionals advising health care providers on nearly every type of health care transaction. With in-depth coverage of the Anti-Kickback Law, Stark Law, False Claims Act, and more, this book is a necessity for anyone who needs to understand the intricacies of how fraud and abuse laws are structured and enforced in the health care context, covering:

  • How health care is regulated in the U.S.
  • How fraud and abuse laws are enforced by federal and state entities
  • Practical advice on assessing and addressing risk
  • Guidance on navigating relationships with the agencies and individuals enforcing the law’s prohibitions

The risks relating to fraud and abuse continue to evolve, for reasons ranging from the proliferation of health care data, to the expansion of the use of technology in health care, to changes in the regulatory scheme resulting from the shift toward value-based payment. Cumulative annual supplements keep you current by incorporating new rulemaking, advisory opinions, waivers, settlements, enforcement trends, and more.
