The Affordable Care Act will significantly change the way employers design and administer their group health plans. While several requirements have already become effective, many others become effective in 2014. In this webinar, hear a detailed review of the "shared responsibility" rules for employers. If time permits, we will also review the current status of other requirements that will be imposed on employers' group health plans under the Affordable Care Act.

Dealing with the various Medicare audits can be overwhelming for practitioners and institutions. Having a fine-tuned process for reviewing and responding to such audits will greatly increase your chances of success in appealing an overpayment allegation. We will provide you with practical tips for both large institutions and small clinics to effectively respond to Medicare audits and explore creative legal arguments you can use in your appeal to reduce alleged overpayment amounts.

Members of Fredrikson's Health Law Group will discuss the recently published, sweeping changes to the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules that will have a major effect on the privacy practices of covered entities and their business associates. We will also provide advice on how to bring your organization into compliance by the compliance date of September 23, 2013.

The "American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012," the "fiscal cliff" bill, has a number of provisions that will affect health care organizations. While some provisions have received significant coverage (the so called "doc fix" to the sustainable growth rate, for example), some important changes were even omitted from CMS's summary of the law. In one of the most significant provisions, the law expands the time limit on recovering overpayments, and presumably the time limit for making refunds, by two years. This webinar will summarize the key changes to health care laws.
