Webinar: Purchasing Diagnostic Testing 
Trainer: 
Time: 2:00pm EST

Webinar Description:

From a compliance standpoint, purchasing diagnostic testing isn’t just a financial or operational decision—it’s a legal one. In this session, Ashley Morgan, a healthcare attorney will join us to walk through the potential compliance pitfalls that come with acquiring diagnostic testing capabilities, whether in-office or through external arrangements. We’ll discuss the fraud and abuse implications, including Stark and Anti-Kickback concerns, and the importance of establishing structure and intent that align with regulatory requirements. If your organization is expanding into diagnostic testing—or advising those who are—this session will provide critical insight from both legal and audit perspectives.

Learning Objectives:

Understand how Stark Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute apply to the purchase of diagnostic testing services or equipment.

Identify red flags in common testing arrangements that may elevate compliance risk.

Learn how documentation, contracts, and referral patterns can influence legal and audit vulnerability.

Explore best practices for structuring compliant diagnostic testing relationships and ownership models.

Gain insight into the auditor’s role in identifying and escalating potential legal risk in operational reviews.
