The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act broadens the definition of fraud, increases financial penalties, and establishes new government audit programs in behavioral health. For the first time, compliance programs are mandatory conditions of enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. How do you keep up with new and emerging mandates and prepare for an increasing number of investigations and audits? The National Council offers all the resources you need.
