WASHINGTON DC USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- AUGUST 28, 2026:
Healthcare providers and suppliers increasingly rely on patient support and engagement programs, but free or discounted items and services can raise significant compliance concerns under federal fraud and abuse laws.
In this installment of Health Law Pulse, DWT partners Stewart Kameen and Robert Homchick will examine the evolving regulatory landscape governing remuneration to beneficiaries. Drawing on Stewart's experience as former senior counsel in the Industry Guidance Branch of the HHS Office of Counsel to the Inspector General, the speakers will discuss cost-sharing waivers, transportation assistance, charitable donations, meals, patient engagement incentives, and other common "freebies."
The webinar will explore CMP exceptions, Anti-Kickback Statute safe harbors, HHS-OIG advisory opinions, and related guidance, while offering practical insight into mitigating risk and structuring compliant patient incentive programs.
