He will offer an explanation of the government agencies and contractors involved in gathering health care data for investigation of fraud and abuse. We will look into the increased risk of fraud investigations due to regulatory changes implemented in response to COVID-19, and give practical ways to use data to reduce risk of investigation and liability.

Objectives:
1. Learn how the government uses health care claims data to investigate fraud.
2. Learn how regulatory changes due to COVID-19 increase the risk of being investigated.
3. Learn how to use data as a compliance tool to reduce risk of investigation and liability.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
