Federal enforcement agencies have released a preliminary agenda of an Oct. 5 workshop to gather industry-wide comments on possibly changing federal laws and regulations to protect accountable care organizations from prosecution, according to a notice in the Federal Register.
The day-long workshop will be held by the Federal Trade Commission, HHS Office of Inspector General and CMS at CMS offices in Baltimore and available by teleconference. It will address antitrust, physician self-referral, anti-kickback and civil monetary penalty issues.
