Prepare now – CMS starts enforcing the new Stark self-referral regulation on January 1, 2011

Practices that provide MRI, CT or PET scans must put a compliant patient notification policy in place or face a $15,000 penalty for each mistake, exclusion and penalties under the False Claims Act – and there are no exceptions.

Make sure your advanced imaging services aren’t exposing your practice to severe consequences. Providers who are not prepared and compliant with the new rules are automatically in violation. The effective date of the Stark self-referral rule is January 1, 2011, so your practice must have a policy in place to comply with it.

Join health care attorney Adrienne Dresevic as she explains the new Stark self-referral rule and gives expert guidance on:

  • Tips for drafting a notice for patients who need a MRI, CT scan or PET scan.
  • How to streamline your notification process and efficiently get information to the patients who need it.
  • Ways to cut down on patient confusion so your patients don’t think they’re required to go to another provider.
  • Best practices for painlessly creating a list of providers that will satisfy the rule’s requirements.
  • How to meet the documentation requirements for the patient notification process.
  • Common questions patients ask when they receive the notice and how to respond.
