Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP recently issued the following announcement.
The opioid epidemic in the U.S. has led to a rise in the number of treatment facilities that provide valuable, evidence-based treatment services for people with substance use disorder (SUD). Unfortunately, these facilities are far less regulated than other health care settings, creating an opportunity for unethical individuals to provide fraudulent and substandard care and to profit at the expense of patients and health insurers who pay for these services. Arnold Ventures, researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health, and Faegre Drinker have partnered to investigate trends in unethical and substandard SUD treatment and to develop recommendations to drive an appropriate legislative, regulatory and law enforcement response.
This virtual event will feature panels of speakers from health insurers, law enforcement agencies and SUD advocacy organizations who will discuss the current scope of this problem and ways they are working to prevent, detect and address SUD treatment fraud. We hope you will join us to learn more about this important issue.
