Kidney Care Partners Provides Comments to HHS and Inspector General Regarding Revisions to Safe Harbors under the Anti-Kickback Statute (OIG-0936-AA10-P)
Kidney Care Partners (KCP) provide comments to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Office of the Inspector General (OIG) on the “Revisions to Safe Harbors under the Anti-Kickback Statute, and Civil Monetary Penalty Rules Regarding Beneficiary Inducements” proposed rule (OIG-0936-AA10-P).
KCP is excited to support the Administration in its efforts to improve kidney care for all Americans. The proposals in this proposed rule along with those outlined in the “Medicare Program; Modernizing and Clarifying the Physician Self-Referral Regulations*” proposed rule would help eliminate some of the barriers to improving care coordination for patients living with kidney disease and kidney failure. KCP look forward to working with the Administration to ensure these policies are finalized and applied to nephrologists and dialysis facilities so that regulations support the delivery of value-based kidney care which is a central principal of the Advancing American Kidney Health initiative.
