Managing Legal Compliance in the Health Care Industry

Managing Legal Compliance in the Health Care Industry, 1st Edition, is a textbook that prepares readers to build and manage compliance programs across the healthcare industry. The volume addresses the regulatory landscape following the passage of the Affordable Care Act, which made compliance programs mandatory and instituted more severe penalties for noncompliance.

The text examines primary statutes and regulations governing healthcare entities, explaining how compliance programs operate and how legal violations occur. It also outlines approaches for adapting these programs to meet the special needs of diverse healthcare settings.

Intended for healthcare administrators, legal counsel, and graduate students in health administration, public health, and law, the work references actual cases of fraud and abuse to illustrate practical compliance challenges.
