SunHawk Consulting, LLC is excited to announce that Lorraine Aniello and Leah Lane will be presenting on the topic of “A Case Study in Consequences of Insufficient Due Diligence in Medical Practice Acquisition” at the Clinical Practice Compliance Conference, which is being held virtually October 10th and 11th, 2023.
Don’t miss out on Lorraine and Leah’s presentation on Wednesday, October 11th from 1:15 – 2:15 PM CT!
The Presentation Will be Covering:
- How misrepresentation of a provider, other fraudulent claims and even a conflict of interest were discovered during an investigation.
- How medical practice acquisition with little due diligence resulted in no practice at all and costly litigation.
- How our varied experience from both a Certified Fraud Examiner and Clinician perspective allowed for unique and different transaction reviews resulting in the identification of additional frauds.
- How a lack of due diligence in an acquisition can be more costly than the acquisition price itself.
- Regulations related to misrepresentation of a provider.
- A case study where this actually happened.
