There are numerous statutes, regulations, accreditation conditions and contract terms that SUD facilities and their teams are required to comply with. Buried within many of those provisions are requirements that the facility timely self-report certain events and occurrences, and that therapists and others report certain kinds of concerns about the clients they are working with.

Some of these reporting requirements are rarely enforced, but others are enforced with vigor by government agencies, payors and others. Sometimes the failure to report is even used as a pretext by payors to justify terminating a participating provider contract, or by clinical/professional boards to challenge professional licenses. The consequences of overlooking or ignoring reporting requirements can be severely harmful to your organization and team.

The purpose of this webinar will be to educate owners and clinical staff of SUD facilities on the significant self-reporting requirements that they should be aware of when certain events occur or concerns are raised. Failure to give timely reports can result in legal action by regulators, payors and other parties.

We will discuss when and whether you must report events such as patient deaths and injuries, patient complaints, actions against clinician licenses, unprofessional conduct, concerns of abuse, changes of location or other significant operational changes, identified overpayments and more. We will also discuss the proper entities to report to as well as best practices for making reports so as to minimize the risk of disruptive investigations and negative publicity.

In addition, we will provide helpful hints on educating your staff on how to stay organized and on top of the many self-reporting requirements so that they are not inadvertently overlooked.
