"EKRA Enforcement: Commercial, Hospital, and Physician Labs Beware!" 2021 DWT Healthcare Regulatory and Compliance Seminar - A Virtual Series, Davis Wright Tremaine Webinar

2020 brought the first publicly disclosed prosecutions under the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act of 2018 (EKRA), and we expect more to come. Because violations of EKRA could lead to a prison sentence of up to 10 years and fines of up to $200,000, it is crucial that commercial, hospital and physician labs understand how to comply with this law. In this session we:

• Explain how EKRA prohibits traditional lab arrangements permitted under the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) safe harbors
• Discuss the recent enforcement activity
• Explain how labs can structure their commercial relationships in compliance with EKRA

Speakers:

• David Gee
• Kathryn Edgerton
