If you think you’ve got Stark regulations down pat, think again.
The government has made it increasingly more difficult to define what constitutes a violation of these laws, and your practice is at risk of breaking them by making even the simplest mistakes.
Why You Need This Stark Law Training:
Stark Law settlements exceeded $12 million last year, marking a new government record — and this number is expected to climb. With scrutiny higher than ever, staying compliant with Stark and Anti-Kickback rules isn’t just important — it’s imperative.
This is where healthcare attorney Michael R. Lowe, Esq., can help. Join his online training to receive the specific actions you must take to safeguard your practice from easy-to-make Stark and Anti-Kickback violations that can cost your practice thousands. During this 90-minute training, Michael will equip you with actionable steps to sidestep costly Stark and Anti-Kickback violations, ensuring your practice enters 2025 with confidence.

- Quickly and accurately identify acceptable gifts those you should never take
- Uncover how to follow statutory safe harbors to protect your practice
- Stop contract arrangements from making you a target for prosecutors
- Comply with the new Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act (EKRA) statute

PART 3: Fulfill HIPAA Compliance Training Requirements for Your Practice Staff
Available Immediately, Order the On-Demand Recording to Watch at Your Convenience.
HIPAA compliance training for your practice staff isn’t a choice — it’s mandatory.
If your practice is among the 94% of practices that submit patient information electronically (including faxing), then you are required to comply – whether you see Medicare patients or not.
Ignoring this requirement can expose you to penalties ranging from $141 to $71K per violation. And under certain circumstances, the consequences might be even more severe, including higher penalties and even jail.
To make matters worse, HIPAA doesn’t clearly spell out what your HIPAA compliance training must include. It only references general requirements such as a covered entity must train all members of its workforce on the entity’s policies and procedures, and such policies and procedures must be “reasonably designed” to ensure compliance.
So, how can you make sure that the HIPAA compliance training you provide meets requirements and protects you against violation penalties? The answer is not to do it on your own. Instead, depend on healthcare attorney and HIPAA compliance expert, Erica Beacom, JD.
Erica will present a 90-minute online plain-English HIPAA compliance training that you can make available to your entire team. In fact, choosing the on-demand version as well allows each staff member to attend when it is convenient for them (24/7).
Check out the practical, expert advice you’ll receive by signing up for Erica’s online training:
- Make sure your HIPAA compliance plan can withstand government scrutiny
- Mitigate the risk of innocent mistakes leading to costly HIPAA breaches
- Pin down HIPAA training requirements and how to most effectively comply
- Protect your practice from a business associate (vendor) breach with proven vetting tactics
- Incorporate the most important aspects of a HIPAA compliance program and protect your practice
- Avoid repeat fines by having a proven action plan on standby should a HIPAA breach occur
- More easily comply with HIPAA documentation requirements with step-by-step expert advice
- And so much more…
