(Recorded Webinar) Structuring Patient Incentives and Assistance Programs to Minimize Risk Under Federal Laws Webinar Series

Recorded on: February 2025

Part 1: Patient Incentives for Preventive Care
February 11, 2025 | 1:00 p.m. ET

Patient incentives are broadly recognized as important tools to promote immunizations, increase primary and preventive care, and treat substance use disorders. Despite these benefits, the federal Beneficiary Inducement Prohibition poses challenges to health centers seeking to implement patient incentive programs.

During this webinar, Feldesman attorney Adam Falcone will explain the regulatory exception for preventive care, review recent interpretations by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) related to immunizations and contingency management, and offer guidance on how to structure patient incentive programs to minimize legal risks, including best practices for patient incentives that do not fit within current exceptions.

Part 2: Patient Assistance Programs to Address Health-Related Social Needs  
February 12, 2025 | 1:00 p.m. ET

Health centers have a long history of furnishing enabling and supportive services to address social needs related to housing, food, employment and education.  Despite the health-related benefits, the federal Beneficiary Inducement Prohibition and Anti-Kickback Statute pose challenges to health centers seeking to implement patient assistance programs to address social needs.
 
During this webinar, Feldesman attorney Adam Falcone will identify key legal considerations, review the applicability of existing regulatory exceptions and safe harbors, and offer guidance on how to structure patient assistance programs to minimize legal risks.
