Anti-Kickback Issues in Health Care: From Provider Contracts to Marketing Arrangements

Health care is among the most regulated industries in America. Providers must understand and comply with both federal and state laws or be subject to investigations, legal proceedings, or worse.

While exceptions do apply, violations of the statute are punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. Florida Board-certified attorney Dave Davidson will present the far-reaching implications of this complicated federal law and educate providers with proactive compliance guidance.
