This course gives legal assistants a practical, job-focused understanding of healthcare fraud and abuse risk—how it happens, how it’s detected, and how legal and compliance teams respond. You’ll learn the core concepts behind major federal enforcement areas, including the Stark Law (physician self-referral), the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS), and the False Claims Act (FCA), along with common real-world scenarios involving referrals, financial relationships, marketing arrangements, billing practices, and documentation problems.
