Jail Time, or Hefty Fine?

Most healthcare investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) result in settlements. Many times, the complete details of the settlements in underlying government cases are not fully disclosed. But sometimes, a provider ends up at trial. And when that happens, it often offers insights into what it takes to get hit with hefty fines – and possible prison time, if you lose the case.

During the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, physician and attorney Dr. John K. Hall will review two recent convictions against individual physicians, and offer suggestion for avoiding big payouts and incarceration.

Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:

• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.

• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.

• Legislative Update: Adam Brenman, a senior government affairs liaison for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.
