2/25/2011
By Rachel M. Irving, Katina W. Lee, Karen S. Lovitch, Carrie A. Roll, and Ellyn L. Sternfield
Federal and state agencies will gain more power to fight health care fraud, waste, and abuse under program integrity regulations recently finalized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In “CMS Finalizes Regulations Intended to Strengthen Program Integrity,” published in BNA’s Health Care Fraud Report, attorneys Rachel Irving, Katina Lee, Karen Lovitch, Carrie Roll, and Ellyn Sternfield weigh in on the vastly expanded authority CMS will have under the final regulations and what that may mean for providers and suppliers.
If you have any questions about the final rule issued by CMS, please contact your Mintz Levin attorney or an attorney in our Health Law practice.
