Ep 16: False Claims Act - It's More Than Billing for Services That Weren't Provided

False Claims Act - It's More Than Billing for Services That Weren't Provided

Clarice Grote, MS, OTR/L

Now I know compliance is not a word that generally sparks a lot of excitement, however, it is something that is extremely important for both the business owner and us as individual clinicians to protect ourselves and our licenses. That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am talking about the False Claims Act.

  • Important things you should know in regard to the false claims act and how to protect yourself from legal implications. 
  • The responsibility you as a clinician to understand the laws yourself instead of relying on your facility.
