For more details including the agenda, see write up courtesy of McDermott, Will & Emory.
Per MWE:
The workshop will feature panel discussions and a listening session on various legal issues related to ACOs, including antitrust, physician self-referral, anti-kickback and civil monetary penalty laws. In particular, the FTC, CMS and OIG wish to receive industry feedback on the following issues:
- How various ACO structures in different health care markets could affect the cost and quality of health care delivered to privately insured consumers and Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries
- Whether (and if so, how) the requirements of the antitrust, physician self-referral, anti-kickback and civil monetary penalty laws should be addressed in the regulations under development for the Medicare Shared Savings Program
- To what extent, if at all, any safe harbors, exceptions, exemptions or waivers from the aforementioned laws may be warranted
