Audio-Conference Description
Marketers for home health agencies, hospices, HME companies, and private duty agencies must understand what is allowed and what isn’t.  Enforcement actions against marketers and their employers continue to increase dramatically as marketers compete to defend and increase market share. The stakes are high and providers must get it right! 

The purpose of this teleconference is to provide in-service education about requirements governing marketing activities for marketers and managers.

• What do marketers need to know about the federal anti-kickback statute and Stark?
• What are the current limits on items that can be given to patients and referral sources? 
• How about lunches for doctors? 
• What about patients’ right to freedom of choice? 

Gather marketing staff members together to learn all about it!  There will be plenty of time for questions during the teleconference and extensive handouts will be provided.
