Core Legal & Regulatory Framework

Volume 1 of this compendium described the architecture a healthcare compliance program needs. Volume 2 completes that picture. It is the working legal foundation in the core federal fraud, abuse, and privacy statutes that drive healthcare compliance risk.

Written for compliance officers who need genuine command of those statutes and the attorneys who advise them, this volume treats each statute as a structural argument to understand, extended across twenty-nine chapters into the digital health, tax, antitrust, and payment frameworks that increasingly shape how those core statutes get applied.

Inside:

• The False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback Statute, and Stark Law, examined individually and at their points of intersection
• HIPAA privacy, security, and breach notification, plus the digital health privacy landscape beyond HIPAA
• EMTALA, exclusion authorities, and the criminal healthcare fraud statutes
• AI-specific legal frameworks, FDA digital health regulation, and information blocking
• 29 chapters, extended case studies, and quick-reference cards for board and committee use

Volume 2 is the second installment of the six-volume Healthcare Compliance & Quality Compendium and builds directly on the architecture Volume 1 established.
