The Health Care Compliance Experts

For many years, state and federal government agencies have mandated compliance requirements from the health care industry. However, recent changes in the regulatory climate make it more important than ever.

Ignorance of these requirements can threaten your practice and your livelihood.

Compliance Confusion?

HIPAA? Stark Law? False Claims Act? OSHA? Medicaid? Medicare?

Most health care practitioners have at least heard of these laws and regulations. However, for most of them, it’s just a confused jumble. They may know that the Affordable Care Act brought on new changes, but few know what those changes are. Fewer still will ever have enough time to study the changes and understand them all—let alone implement them in their practice.

Good Intentions Aren’t Enough

As a health professional, you have only the best intentions toward your patients. But without an understanding of the new compliance requirements, you and your practice are at risk.

With the passing of the Affordable Care Act, health care practitioners are now faced with:

  • Increased number of laws and requirements
  • Mandatory compliance requirements
  • Heightened enforcement activity

Today’s compliance environment is different than in the past. It’s stricter and more demanding. The penalties for violations are very real. They can threaten your practice and your livelihood, potentially bringing fines, penalties, bankruptcy and a ruined reputation.

Safeguard Your Practice

The only solution is to achieve full compliance quickly. Star Compliance Services can help you accomplish this with a range of training and consulting services that will help you to:

  • Get a clear understanding of federal & state regulations.
  • Gain certainty on how to implement compliance measures in your office.
  • Know how to avoid fines, penalties, jail time, audits and investigations.

We provide expert training and consulting to help you understand how to implement the new compliance requirements in your practice. Our goal is to make it easy to get your practice up to date, compliant and safe from government interference.

We offer two primary ways to accomplish this:

1. Our Upcoming Compliance Seminars

Our cutting-edge Medicaid and healthcare compliance seminar addresses all of the above issues for healthcare professionals and their staff. They are uniquely presented with vital information for doctors, dentists, nursing homes, device manufacturers, suppliers, and in short any business that operates in health care.
