  Program Description

  The Fundamentals of Health Law program is a valuable training program for new associates and in-house counsel and also an excellent refresher for experienced health lawyers.  The program offers an array of health law topics, including:

  • Medicare Fundamentals
  • Tax Exemption and Tax Issues
  • Anti-Kickback and Stark
  • Antitrust
  • Risk Management and Provider Liability
  • False Claims and Overpayments

  The program’s faculty not only dispenses their knowledge of legal issues, but they also provide insight into the challenges ahead in order to help attendees build an effective legal practice. The networking opportunities with other new associates, in-house counsel, and the Associations leaders are an invaluable experience.
