Alcohol and drug treatment centers save lives. But legal and compliance risk threatens your ability to perform your calling. Ignoring that risk can stunt your growth, put you out of business, or worse, land you in jail. To reduce your legal and compliance risk, you must first know what that risk is. Treatment centers today face legal and compliance risk from many different areas. Assessing and reducing that risk requires a multi-disciplinary approach and expertise in all of the areas where you face risk.

Balch & Bingham LLP is a full-service law firm uniquely situated to advise treatment centers in all of the areas where they face risk. In this series of webinars, they present speakers from its different practice groups in the major topic areas of legal and compliance risk affecting treatment centers, including:

• Payment risk
• Statutory and regulatory risk
• Labor & employment risk
• Business risk

In Part I of this series, Balch & Bingham LLP partner Walter Boone provides basic information about how to increase your ability to get paid, and reduce the likelihood of payment delay, audits, or worse, claims by insurers for recoupment. This webinar begins with a general overview of the rules for how to get paid and where you find those rules. You will learn where to go to find out:

• How long you have to file a claim;
• What happens after you file a claim;
• What happens if insurers don’t pay when they should; and
• How long insurers have to file claims for recoupment.

At the conclusion of the webinar, you will be able to start your own inventory in this area and get into action with tools and resources to reduce your payment risk.
