2 Wednesday, November 30, 2016 Schedule of Events 9:00 am Registration 10:00-11:00 am - Closing the Loop: Preventing Loss from Returned Goods Michael Nisivoccia, Project Manager, The Audit Group Implantable medical devices are an estimated $50 billion market in the US, a figure that will only see growth in the years to come. With increased regulatory pressure, competition in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors, and the trend toward strategic acquisitions/partnerships, health providers nationwide are forced to adapt or perish. At The Audit Group, one of the largest issues our recovery audits identify is the lack of proper controls when tracking returned goods. The reasons behind the struggle are multi-faceted: Returning product requires communication and coordination between multiple departments and, in some cases, physical locations; the formal Returned Goods Process is nonexistent or poorly explained to those involved; ERP tracking tools are not utilized; and no follow up is done to ensure the vendor credits the hospital account. Closing the Loop: Preventing Loss from Returned Goods will address the common vulnerabilities and weaknesses we ve identified and highlight how a successful program functions. 11:00-12:00 pm - Auditing the Revenue Cycle Andy Adams, Partner, E&Y; Dave Dreher, Partner, E&Y Discuss types of risk in the revenue cycle Transform revenue cycle management Advance analytical techniques Optimize the technology environment 12:00-1:00 pm LUNCH 1:00-2:00 pm - The Current Enforcement Environment in the SNF Arena Joel Dziengielewski, Director, Navigant Consulting The presentation will focus on the current enforcement environment in the SNF sector. The discussion will address key risk areas, operational areas that bring risk and what participants can do to mitigate such risks. Participants will learn of recent actual cases highlighting pitfalls and outcomes of inferior compliance practices, as well as leading practices to mitigate risk areas. 2:00-3:00 pm - Experiences with Provider Credentialing: Risk Areas & Improvement Opportunities Molly Hinchey, Corporate Compliance and Program Integrity Manager, North Shore Medical Center 3:15-4:15 pm - OCR Audits Phase 2 with real life experience - how to navigate William Roberts, Associate, Chair of Privacy and Data Protection Group, Shipman & Goodwin LLP In March of 2016, the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights ( OCR ) launched Phase II of its HIPAA compliance audit program. The purpose of these audits is to assess compliance with the HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules and both covered entities and business associates may be subject to them. While these audits are primarily desk audits, some on-site audits are being conducted. This presentation will provide an overview of the audit process, a look back at the Phase II audit period, and provide practical solutions and best practices for preparing for and handling an OCR HIPAA audit. The presentation will also consider how to interact with OCR and the implications an audit may have for a health care organization. 4:15-5:15 pm - Health Care Data Analytics: Fraud Detection and Audits Michael Salve, Senior Managing Director, FTI; Robert Fruite, Managing Director, FTI Network analysis is visualizing and evaluating relationships and flows among people, groups, organizations, doctors, patients and providers. In healthcare fraud cases, we will assist clients with advanced fraud detection methods (network analysis and predictive analytics) that target root causes of fraud and then design statistical samples for the compliance team to review. After the compliance department review is complete, we assist with the statistical extrapolation of the results to the broader claim population. Conference Location Mystic Marriott 625 North Road (Route 117) Groton, CT (860) This modified case study highlights the importance of examining nonquantitative areas like medical personnel files, an area not typically residing at the top of most audit plans. Dated systems, variations in credentialing processes, and multifaceted applications complicate this auditing task, while national boards, federal background checks and complex approval bodies feign perfection amongst these types of personnel files. Allow our recent experience with provider credentialing files to be a lesson in the importance of monitoring medical staff files on a more regular and thorough basis, even when tight processes are in place. 3:00-3:15 pm BREAK

3 Thursday, December 1, 2016 Schedule of Events 7:30-8:30 am Breakfast / Registration 8:30-9:30 am - Hot Topics in Compliance: the 60 Day Final Rule and Other Current Issues Lourdes Martinez, Partner, Garfunkle, Wild & Travis Among the many components of the 2010 Affordable Care Act ( ACA ) was a change in Federal law requiring Medicare and Medicaid providers to report, return and explain overpayments within 60 days of identification of the overpayment. Six year later, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS ) adopted a Final Rule implementing this requirement. This session will discuss that Final Rule, including CMS s prospective on what constitutes an overpayment, what compliance activities CMS expects health care provider s to implement to prevent and detect overpayments, and the potential liabilities for non-compliance with this aspect of the ACA. This session will also focus on the latest developments related to compliance with the Federal fraud and abuse laws, including the U.S. Supreme Court s recent decision validating the theory of implied certification in False Claims Act cases, the huge increase in False Claims Act penalties and other emerging compliance issues. 9:30-9:45 am BREAK 9:45-10:45 am - Demystifying IS Risk Assessments Michael Kanarellis, IT Assurance Sr. Manager, Wolf and Company The regulatory landscape in healthcare continues to evolve and become more complex, while the punitive damages for HIPAA noncompliance also continue to grow. One of the core tenets of the HIPAA Security Rule and Meaningful Use is that a risk assessment be performed to properly gauge key risk factors and to assess that security controls surround the administrative, technical, and physical safeguards of both paper and electronic health records. However, what constitutes a risk assessment remains a point of confusion for many healthcare providers, physician practices, and business associates. Michael Kanarellis, Director of Healthcare Security for Wolf & Co, will discuss the differences between a HIPAA/NIST security gap analysis and a true Risk Assessment and how one can inform the other. Michael will also discuss the key components that need to be in every healthcare organizations information security program such as Network Security Reviews, Penetration testing, and Social Engineering testing. The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) continues to be more aggressive with punitive action for HIPAA noncompliance. Based on Michael s experience with the OCR he will discuss what to expect if you suffer a breach or are selected for an OCR HIPAA audit. 10:45-11:00 am BREAK 11:00-12:00 pm - EMR Implementation Compliance Roles Stephen Gillis, Director, Billing Compliance, Partners HealthCare Compliance departments are often kept out of the loop during clinical and financial system implementations, only to be called in after the fact to help clean up coding, documentation and billing mishaps. The intent of the break out session is to identify options pertaining to when and how compliance professionals can integrate their routine monitoring and auditing activities into go-live preparation, assessment and monitoring, both pre and post golive. The use of data analytics will be highlighted as one of the most effective and efficient means to monitor a system go live. 11:00-12:00 pm - NP/PA Billing MaseQua Pina, Associate Compliance Officer, System Audits, Yale New Haven Health The intent of the break out session is to clarify incident to services billed by physicians and non-physician practitioners to carriers.

These services are billed as Part B services to your carrier as if you personally provided them, and are paid under the physician fee schedule. Incident to services are also relevant to services supervised by certain nonphysician practitioners such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse midwives, or clinical psychologists. These services are subject to the same requirements as physician-supervised services. Remember that incident services supervised by non-physician practitioners are reimbursed at 85 percent of the physician fee schedule. 12:00-1:00 LUNCH 1:00-2:00 pm - Top Ten Risks in Home Health Care- Mitigate Your Exposure June Crawford, Principal, Bonadio Group Two factors should drive internal audit and compliance program activities for Home Health Agencies (HHA): heightened scrutiny of HHA claims for improper payments due to fraud and abuse, and the Affordable Care Act s requirement for the return of overpayments within 60 days of identification. The presenter will address the top ten risks in HHA services based on recent audit activities, governmental investigations, and her experience conducting risk assessments and record audits of HHA provider agencies. Attendees will leave the session with practical approaches to risk assessment and internal audit activity. 2:00-3:40 pm - Primer and Case Scenarios: The Practical Application of Stark Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute Prohibitions Christine Savage, Partner, Choate, Hall & Stewart, LLP This presentation will provide attendees with an overview/refresher of the most commonly implicated Stark and Anti-kickback provisions, as well as case scenarios that often present in a health care provider setting. 3:40-3:50 pm BREAK Field of Study: Auditing CPE: 2 Level: All 3:50-5:30 pm - The Role of Compliance in Due Diligence in Hospital Acquisitions Rebecca Matthews, Partner, Wiggin & Dana; Donna Schneider, System Revenue Compliance Officer, Yale-New Haven Health System We will review various affiliation structures and due diligence concerns in each.

As they do so, they are confronted with increasing programmatic risks and often daunting challenges in achieving cost, schedule, and quality performance goals. In our session, we will discuss capital planning considerations and effective capital program delivery strategies. Topics will include governance, executive oversight, program delivery framework, contracting structure and pricing, organizational effectiveness, risk identification and management, procurement and sourcing, contract and scope management, cost and schedule controls, performance metrics, and communication & reporting.

The law s incentives for entering into risk-bearing coordinated care models could set the stage for other payers. Health care providers will need to examine their participation in risk-bearing coordinated care models and assess their capabilities to adapt to new measures for quality of care and performance.
