    How to Respond to Audits

    A 90-Minute Lunch & Learn Audio Conference

    by 

    Elizabeth E. Hogue, Esq.

    Thursday, April 25, 2024
    ****1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time****


    Replay: May 2, 2024 (Recorded playback available for 24 hours)


    Audio-Conference Description

    Home health, hospice, private duty, and HME providers are routinely subject to audits of all kinds; including by MACs, SMRCs, RACs, and UPICS.  The purpose of this teleconference is to help providers respond successfully to all types of audits.  What is the first step providers should take to respond to audits?  What should providers do if they find deficiencies in documentation?  Can providers supplement and/or amend records before submission?  If so, how should providers do so?  What about summaries of records?  Are they useful and, if so, how?  What should be included in summaries?  Providers continue to take a beating from auditors, so now is the time to understand the best way to beat them.  There will be plenty of time for questions during the teleconference and extensive handouts will be provided.

    About the Speaker:
    Elizabeth Hogue is an attorney in private practice with extensive experience in health care.  Prior to becoming an attorney, she was employed as a personnel manager by a Blue Cross-Blue Shield Plan.  She studied at the University of Maryland School of Law, concentrating in health law, and gained considerable clinical experience, course work, and employment experience in this area.  Following her admission to the Bar, she developed an active practice in health law.  She represents clients all over the country.  Her clients are professional associations, managed care providers, and institutional health care providers; including hospitals, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, durable medical equipment companies, and hospices.  Ms. Hogue gives numerous presentations each year on health-related topics.  Her articles are regularly included in trade association publications and other journals.  Ms. Hogue is a member of the American Health Lawyers Association.

    Restrictive Covenants

    A 90-Minute Lunch & Learn Audio Conference

    by 

    Elizabeth E. Hogue, Esq.

    Thursday, May 23, 2024

    ****1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time****

    Replay: May 30, 2024 (Recorded playback available for 24 hours)

    Audio-Conference Description
    Restrictive covenants take many forms; including non-competes, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement agreements.  Home health agencies, hospices, private duty agencies, and HME companies have all used restrictive covenants.  Marketing and key staff members have often entered into non-compete agreements with their employers. Non-competes, however, are currently under tremendous fire.  What can employers do?  How should non-compete clauses be structured so that they are likely to pass muster with regulators?  What about geographic limits?  What about the length of time that non-competes are in effect?  Employers may also be concerned about solicitation of both patients and other employees.  How can they protect themselves from potentially serious losses?  What about the use of non-disparagement agreements to help ensure that former employees don’t “bad-mouth” employers to patients, employees, and others in the community?  There will be plenty of time for questions during this teleconference and extensive handouts will be provided.
