SUMMARY:Risk Assessments: Health Center Requirements and Recommendations | Workshop Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Health centers operate under a complex set risk assessment requirements and recommendations\, including: \n\nFTCA requirements to conduct quarterly risk assessments\nHIPAA Security Rule requirements to conduct regular security risk analyses; and\nThe Office of the Inspector General (OIG) expectations to conduct regular compliance risk assessments to identify fraud\, waste\, and abuse.\n\nThis workshop is designed to help health centers understand what’s required\, what’s recommended and how to implement a meaningful risk assessment process. In this workshop\, attendees will learn: \n\nCompliance risk assessment essentials: Including how to meaningfully involve senior leadership\, design risk assessment document reviews and interview questions\, assign risk levels and understand your health center’s risk tolerance\nRisk assessment requirements: Identify current risk assessment requirements for health centers\, including how to address common deficiencies identified by the FTCA Division of HRSA in the 2026 FTCA deeming applications and by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in recent enforcement actions\nRisk assessment recommendations: Develop a compliance risk assessment process that reflects and prioritizes recommended risk assessment areas based on your health center’s top risk areas\n\nThis workshop will cover the requirements and provide practical strategies and tools for collecting and analyzing information about your health center’s compliance risks. \nAudience:\n\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\n\nAgenda Day 1:\n\nRisk assessments as an element of your Compliance Program: A formal compliance risk assessment helps identify\, evaluate\, and prioritize potential compliance risks. It forms the foundation of your compliance program—guiding how to focus your health center’s effort\, time\, and money. We’ll discuss the OIG’s expectation that health care providers conduct compliance risk assessments at least annually\, that the Staff Compliance Committee be responsible for conducting and implementing compliance risk assessments\, and that the Compliance Program itself be part of the compliance risk assessment.\nRisk assessment models and approaches: In this section\, we’ll discuss a range of models and approaches for conducting risk assessments in health centers—from qualitative heat maps to quantitative scoring and hybrid frameworks. We’ll discuss the key factors that should guide the selection of a model suited to your organization’s size\, structure\, and risk profile\, and review practical examples showing how different methods identify and prioritize compliance risks. Participants will gain actionable insights and practical tools to design a structured\, repeatable process that enhances oversight and supports continuous compliance improvement.\n\nPresenters:\n\nDianne Pledgie\nMolly Evans\nAlexander Lipovtsev\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Exploring “Other Lines of Business” for Community Health Centers: Strategies\, Risks\, and Opportunities | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Exploring “Other Lines of Business” for Community Health Centers: Strategies\, Risks\, and Opportunities\nCommunity health centers are increasingly looking beyond the HRSA-approved scope of project to develop “other lines of business” as a way to strengthen financial sustainability\, respond to tightening restrictions on in-scope activities\, and pursue innovative service models. This trend is fueled by growing financial pressures and new federal directives—Executive Orders and HRSA’s corresponding priorities—that limit what may be carried out within scope. \nThis webinar will explore how to establish and maintain an “other line of business” responsibly. We’ll discuss strategies for allocating expenses under federal grants management rules\, examine the Section 330 statutory restriction on using nongrant funds to further project objectives\, and highlight risk considerations and common pitfalls to avoid. Participants will gain practical insights on assessing compliance implications and gauging potential risks when moving forward with business development opportunities and learn best practices in documenting compliance with HRSA’s financial requirements. \nWe are excited to co-present with Peter Epp of CohnReznick\, a CPA with 40 years of experience supporting community health centers. Together\, we’ll bring both legal and financial perspectives to help health centers innovate with confidence! \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain the “other lines of business” concept and how such activities are separate and distinct from the federally-funded health center project.\nDescribe the grants management principles applicable to appropriately allocating expenses between the federally-funded health center project and other lines of business.\nRecognize common compliance pitfalls and risk areas\, including the need to identify and navigate federal interest issues.\nEvaluate risk implications applicable to other lines of business.\n\nAudience: \n\nCEOs\nCFOs\nCOOs\nCMOs\nExecutive Leadership\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nLegal Counsel\n\nPresenters:\n\nCarrie Riley\nPetter Epp – Partner at CohnReznick\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Merger and Acquisition Strategies and the HRSA Successor-in-Interest Process | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Together: Merger and Acquisition Strategies and the HRSA Successor-in-Interest Process\nAs health centers respond to financial pressures\, seek economies of scale\, and aim to expand the reach and scope of their services\, many are exploring consolidation strategies—including mergers and acquisitions—as a path to greater sustainability and impact. \nIn the context of federally-funded FQHCs\, consolidation presents unique HRSA Health Center Program requirements\, including rules on service area\, aligning scopes of project\, and the transfer of H80 awards through the Successor-in-Interest (SII) process. This session will unpack different consolidation models\, guide participants through the SII process\, and explore considerations essential for a smooth and compliant transition. \nParticipants will also gain practical\, real-world tips for building a successful merger or acquisition and will learn how to spot and identify the most common pitfalls that can derail integration and SII efforts. \nParticipants will learn to: \n\nDistinguish mergers from acquisitions\nUnderstand the implications of consolidation on the health center scope of project\nIdentify and implement strategies to begin the planning process\nNavigate HRSA’s Successor-in-Interest (SII) process\nRecognize and avoid common pitfalls that can undermine approval\n\nAudience: \nThis session is designed for FQHC leadership teams\, including CEOs\, CFOs\, COOs\, board members\, and HR professionals considering or preparing for a merger\, acquisition\, or consolidation\, as well as those supporting operational and compliance transitions. \nPresenters:\n\nCarrie Riley\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:340B Drug Discount Program | Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Session 1:\nAugust 12 at 1:00 pm (EDT) \nSession 2:\nAugust 14 at 1:00 pm  (EDT) \nCamp Counselor: Jason Reddish\n\nWhat We Are Covering in Week 6:\n\nSession 1 – 340B Program Developments: Learning to Roll with the Punches\n\nFive years ago\, drug manufacturers started limiting shipments of drugs purchased through the 340B drug discount program to health centers’ contracted pharmacies. Since then\, we have faced a seemingly unending parade of news – the Inflation Reduction Act\, “rebate” models proposed by drug manufacturers\, changes to Medicaid managed care reimbursement\, and the evolution of telemedicine\, infusion therapies\, and medication therapy management. This webinar will highlight the current state of the 340B program and our best guess at where it will go from here\, including how to roll with the punches to position yourself for success.\n\n\nSession 2 – 340B Program Practice: Increasing Affordability for Patients Without Stepping on Landmines\n\nHealth centers know their core mission is to provide comprehensive primary health care services to all patients regardless of ability to pay. Unfortunately\, regulations and payer contracts often create difficulties when trying to reduce drug costs for patients who cannot afford their cost-sharing obligations. This webinar discusses where health centers do and do not have flexibility to implement discounts\, cost-sharing waivers\, and sliding-fee style discount programs for their patients.\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\nEach Compliance Summer Camp session will be recorded and available on demand. The recordings will be available for 60 days after the live session ends.\nFor additional information and other events in the same series\, visit our Compliance Camp Website.\nPlease contact training@powerslaw.com if you have any questions\, or are interested in purchasing our discounted “all-access bundle” to all six weeks for $1500.\n\n

SUMMARY:DEI and Nondiscrimination Laws | Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Session 1:\nAugust 5 at 1:00 pm (EDT) \nSession 2:\nAugust 7 at 1:00 pm  (EDT) \nCamp Counselor: Jason Qu\n\nWhat We Are Covering in Week 5:\n\nSessions 1 & 2 – DEI and Nondiscrimination Laws: Legal Landscape Update \n\nRecent developments in case law and federal policy have shifted how key nondiscrimination laws applicable to health centers are being interpreted\, applied\, and enforced by agencies\, funders\, and regulatory authorities. These shifts have cast doubt on the legality of long-established diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (“DEI”)-related policies and practices and may be in tension with other programmatic\, contractual\, and/or state-level legal commitments.\nThese webinar sessions will provide attendees with a primer on applicable nondiscrimination laws—including Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act\, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act\, the Age Discrimination Act\, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act—and on the changing legal landscape surrounding DEI. Attendees will explore how to make strategic\, risk-informed decisions regarding the continuation of DEI-related activities (including but not limited to targeted programs\, data collection\, and employment practices) against the current backdrop of legal uncertainty and shifting norms.\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\nEach Compliance Summer Camp session will be recorded and available on demand. The recordings will be available for 60 days after the live session ends.\nFor additional information and other events in the same series\, visit our Compliance Camp Website.\nPlease contact training@powerslaw.com if you have any questions\, or are interested in purchasing our discounted “all-access bundle” to all six weeks for $1500.\n\n

SUMMARY:Governance and Health Center Board | Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Session 1:\nJuly 29 at 1:00 pm (EDT) \nSession 2:\nJuly 31 at 1:00 pm  (EDT) \nCamp Counselors: Carrie Riley & Dianne Pledgie\n\n\nWhat We Are Covering in Week 4:\n\nSession 1 – Supporting a Strong and Compliant Health Center Board: Part 1\n\nIn Part 1\, we’ll explore the board’s essential role in overseeing the health center’s compliance program. HRSA’s Health Center Program requirements state that the board is responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws. But what does this look like in practice? We’ll break it down and draw from HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) guidance to outline how boards can help lead a culture of compliance. Attendees will receive a list of key questions board members should ask (and that health center staff should be prepared to answer!)\, ideas for integrating compliance into regular board engagement\, and strategies for getting—and keeping—compliance on the board’s radar.\n\n\nSession 2 – Supporting a Strong and Compliant Health Center Board: Part 2\n\nFrom board composition and authorities to navigating “rogue” board behavior and enhancing engagement\, Part 2 will provide the tools and insights management needs to guide and sustain an effective\, compliant board. Attendees will also receive a bylaws review checklist and a list of questions that can be reviewed and discussed by the board to prepare for their Operational Site Visit interview. Whether you’re new to governance or looking for a summer tune-up\, this session will help you and your board stay on the right trail.\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\nEach Compliance Summer Camp session will be recorded and available on demand. The recordings will be available for 60 days after the live session ends.\nFor additional information and other events in the same series\, visit our Compliance Camp Website.\nPlease contact training@powerslaw.com if you have any questions\, or are interested in purchasing our discounted “all-access bundle” to all six weeks for $1500.\n\n

SUMMARY:Navigating Your Health Center's Scope of Project | Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Session 1:\nJuly 22 at 3:00 pm (EDT) \nSession 2:\nJuly 24 at 3:00 pm  (EDT) \nCamp Counselor: Carrie Riley\n\n\nWhat We Are Covering in Week 3:\n\nSessions 1 & 2 – Navigating Your Health Center’s Scope of Project\n\nBefore you hit the trails\, make sure your map is accurate! For community health centers\, Forms 5A\, 5B\, and 5C chart the course for your approved scope of project—defining your services\, sites\, and other key activities. Inaccurate or outdated forms can lead to serious consequences\, including grant conditions and denial of Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) coverage.\nThis two-part session will begin with a deep dive into Form 5A\, including how to add or remove services and avoid common pitfalls in change-in-scope requests. We’ll also review a practical checklist of required elements for Column II contracts and Column III referral arrangements. Next\, we’ll explore Form 5B\, focusing on what qualifies as a “service site” and walking through best practices—and frequent missteps—when adding or removing sites\, illustrated by real-world examples. Finally\, we’ll unpack Form 5C\, clarifying when it should (and should not) be used. Get ready to build your scope-savvy survival skills and keep your health center on the right path.\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\nEach Compliance Summer Camp session will be recorded and available on demand.

SUMMARY:Implementing the 340B Insulin/Epi-Pen EO in Your Health Center | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Implementing the 340B Insulin / Epi-Pen Executive Order In Your Health Center\nOn April 15\, 2025\, President Trump issued an Executive Order addressing issues relating to high drug prices.
