Contracts and MOUs; What to Use and When?

As health centers strive to provide high quality comprehensive care, whether by contract or MOU arrangement, each document type must contain certain provisions in order to be compliant with the HRSA Compliance Manual and Site Visit Protocol (SVP). This webinar will provide participants with a non-legal perspective on contracts and MOUs, identify “must haves” within contracts, and finally identify best practices to assist with maintaining compliance.

Contracts In An FQHC: Do Your Contracts Comply?

Running a successful Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) requires effective structural organization. It also requires a deep understanding of the contracts that are the framework of the FQHC. FQHCs can increase their effectiveness and overall compliance by ensuring that they not only have the proper contracts in place, but that they are using the most effective language in those contracts. This presentation will provide insight into the basic requirements surrounding agreements in the FQHC setting, including referral arrangements, professional services arrangements, and grant agreements, and will help FQHCs achieve maximum compliance and success.

FTCA Compliance and Preparing for an FTCA Specific On-Site Visit

Quality Assurance, Risk Management, Claims Management and Credentialing and Privileging activities have increasingly become more important to HRSA.

These FTCA on-site visits are conducted over two days and are focused on Quality Assurance, Risk Management, Claims Management and Credentialing and Privileging activities to a much more detailed extent than required for FTCA applications.
