Presentation Details:

Government investigations and liability concerns have increasingly become a concern for healthcare providers, and now even for business associates who provide services to those providers. Healthcare in this country can be a statutory and regulatory quagmire, but understanding the potential obstacles, such as HIPAA concerns, the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and the Stark Law, will provide healthcare Project Managers the background to avoid government investigations, and to also be prepared in case the government does come knocking.

This presentation will focus on the recent trends in government investigations, and overview of some of the more significant cases, and a summary of the various laws that the government typically enforces that present the most significant legal obstacles to those in the healthcare industry.

His experience in litigation and breadth of knowledge in the industry helps him evaluate a pending lawsuit and move it towards resolution, whether by trial, dismissal, or alternative dispute resolution, as well as preventing and reducing lawsuits through incident and risk management, policy development, and regulatory guidance.

Before entering private practice, Sean was a U.S. Army JAG Officer, most recently serving as a Trial Defense Attorney, where he represented soldiers, officers, and professionals accused of criminal misconduct or substandard performance, and tried over 40 cases on military bases across the Southeast.
