Failing to carefully examine and negotiate service contracts is a common and costly mistake. A faulty contract can even expose a long-term care facility to accidental healthcare fraud and abuse. With some basic understanding of contract review, however, you can avoid leaving your facility vulnerable. You’ll also be able to negotiate favorable language to include in your contracts, putting you a step ahead. During this 60-minute webinar, attorney Todd J. Selby will break down how long-term care facility administration must carefully examine and negotiate service contracts to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. You will learn how contracts can be affected by federal Requirements of Participation (RoP) and state licensure laws, how to address specific RoPs in contract language, and how to draft favorable contract terms to avoid issues down the road. |
