Course Title: Gifts and Gratuities
Course Series: eComply Healthcare
Description:
Historically, some companies have provided gifts and gratuities to physicians and other healthcare employees who are in a position to order or prescribe their products. The gifts have been made in a variety of forms. Companies have provided small tokens, such as pens and notepads, as well as more elaborate gifts and gratuities, including drug samples, alcohol, meals, paid expenses for continuing medical education conferences, as well as the travel and lodging expenses associated with attending conferences.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG), operating under the Department of Health and Human Services, scrutinizes healthcare providers to determine whether such gifts are accepted, which may result in such companies influencing the provider’s healthcare decisions for patients. Such influence could be a violation of the federal anti-kickback statute. Additionally, the gifts and gratuities may benefit an individual inappropriately, which can threaten the tax-exempt status of the hospital.
The purpose of this course is to inform hospital employees of federal laws applicable to the acceptance of gifts or gratuities from individuals, organizations and companies attempting to gain access to the healthcare industry.
