Attend the only Medicare Advantage Conference Designed for the MAO Legal Community The Medicare Advantage program is making headlines.

This government program—an alternative to traditional Medicare—is experiencing immense growth, as well as heightened scrutiny. In the last year, there have been fraud and abuse allegations, findings of coverage and prior authorization denials, and increased costs to tax payers. However, there have been other findings that these plans do not deny coverage or care anymore often than traditional Medicare and that they are good examples of value based models.

It’s critical that MAOs who administer the program stay abreast of the latest legal and regulatory developments, and remain hypervigilant about potential fraud, waste, and abuse related risks.

Join us at ACI’s Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Summit on Medicare Advantage on October 12–13 for a deep dive into new and impending regulations from CMS, analyses of big impact cases, forward-thinking conversations about the strategies, that will protect your organization, and best practices for both administration and compliance.

Featured sessions will include: ç Special Q&A with the OIG and DOJ Analyses of the Most Notable Fraud and Abuse Cases of the Year: The Biggest Wins, Losses, and Lessons Learned for MAO Case Strategies ç A Think Tank on Developing Successful Value-Based Arrangements for MAOs: Navigating Safe Harbors and Avoiding Stark Law, and AKS Violations in the Payor-Provider Relationship

WHO YOU WILL MEET In-House Counsel and Business Executives from Medicare Advantage Organizations, and Insurance Companies specializing in: » Litigation » Risk management » Claims/Strategic payments » Payor relations disputes » Medicare Compliance » Audits » Regulatory Affairs

Outside Counsel specializing in: » Health Plans and Government Programs » Regulatory affairs and compliance » Health litigation » Medicare Advantage litigation » Medicare Advantage contracting » Payor disputes
