To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress has passed the CARES Act as well as other stimulus legislation authorizing many different funding streams for which a variety of health care entities are eligible, e.g., through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund and the Paycheck Protection Program. Though these funds provide necessary assistance throughout the industry, they also are subject to a number of terms and conditions and reporting obligations, will be a target of audits, and come with substantial False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement risk. In addition to funding, HHS has granted several Section 1135 waivers, such as with respect to the Stark Law, other regulatory flexibilities, and modifications to reimbursement. These changes offer providers and suppliers more latitude given the challenges posed by the pandemic, but compliance with the new guidance is imperative to mitigate FCA enforcement risk and whistleblower actions in the future.
Join us on Thursday, April 30, 2020 from 2:00 - 3:00 pm EDT for a webinar discussing these risks as well as strategies and best practices you can implement today to mitigate potential FCA actions and other enforcement in the future.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term
The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
