Demystifying the Regulatory Framework for Vendor Arrangements with Hospitals – A Three Part Series

Hospital and health systems rely on vendors and other partners to provide vital services that support patient care, efficient operations and smooth administrative functions. However, the regulations governing different types of arrangements with hospitals are complex and can often present unexpected pitfalls.

In this three-part webinar series, our regulatory attorneys will examine the practical implications for vendors and other entities working directly with hospitals, hospitals working with other providers through the “under arrangement” rule, and organizations navigating the intricacies of co-location agreements. This engaging series is a must-attend for hospitals and health systems, clinical services vendors and management companies, digital health companies, and any clinical entity providing services at a hospital campus or within a hospital’s physical structure.

Unpacking & Understanding the Medicare “Under Arrangement” Rules

To ensure that patients receive the care that they need, a hospital may arrange for another entity to provide a particular service to a patient. In this type of contract arrangement, a complicated set of Medicare reimbursement rules comes into play and dictates how such services may be billed.

In this session, we will walk through the nature of “under arrangement” billing between health systems and provide:

• Guidance on how funds should—and should not—flow according to the nature of the arrangement
• Tips for establishing appropriate oversight and control over services being provided and billed “under arrangements”
• Practical case studies.
