Health Care Fraud and Abuse
Academic Noncredit

Health Care Fraud and Abuse is a survey of the federal regulatory structures governing health care organizations and providers who bill federal programs for services provided to patients. The course will review the historical, theoretical and policy themes in health care regulations and focus on the primary regulatory laws and structures. These may include the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Physician Self-Referral Law, the Civil Money Penalties Law, and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General Exclusion Authorities. Students will refine their understanding of administrative law in the health care context and be better prepared for advanced training in health care compliance and otherwise advancing a career in health care. This course meets with the MLS graduate class.

This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course. Students can purchase any assigned hardcopy textbooks through our Campus Bookstore.
