The webinar “Value-Added Services vs. Prohibited Beneficiary Inducements: When is the Line Crossed” will be held Aug. 29 from 2:30-4:00 p.m. ET. It is perfectly acceptable for the HME provider to provide services to its patients that the provider's competitors do not provide. This is good business. These are classified as “value-added services.” On the other hand, when a provider offers “something of value” to induce a prospective customer (a Medicare beneficiary) to buy something from the provider (as opposed to buying something from the provider’s competitor), then this may result in a prohibited inducement in violation of the beneficiary inducement statute and the Medicare anti-kickback statute. The line between a value-added service and a prohibited inducement can be unclear. Register today for this webinar with Jeffrey S. Baird, Esq., Brown & Fortunato, P.C. by clicking here.
