2026-01-08 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Powers Knowledge LMS
The 340B rebate model is slated to begin on January 1 for ten drugs. With just a handful of days to go, health centers and their partners are scrambling to understand what they will need to do to access 340B pricing on critical drugs. Join Jason Reddish from the Powers team as he discusses the latest on what we know, what we still don’t know, and what efforts are being made to stop the model from moving forward. Jason will also address the financial impacts of the model and Medicare reimbursement, and how it intersects with the directive to provide insulin at 340B pricing to low-income patients.
Learning Objectives:

Explain the key components of the 340B rebate model, including what is currently known, what remains uncertain, and efforts to prevent the model from moving forward.
Assess the potential operational and financial impacts of the rebate model on health centers, including contract pharmacy challenges, potential costs, and reductions in reimbursement.

Amending Patient Records: Patient Rights and Health Center Responses | Webinar
2026-02-19 13:00 - 14:00
With patients gaining greater access to their records through patient portals, it is essential for health centers to maintain accurate, up-to-date information and to have clear policies for responding to patient requests to amend their records. Accurate and complete patient records are critical for high-quality care, legal compliance, and regulatory reporting. Whether patients request updates to correct a typo or to remove references to certain identifiers or types of care, having a clear policy ensures timely, consistent responses and may reduce the likelihood of a patient filing a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
This webinar will guide health centers through the process of responding to patient requests to amend records, covering when and how corrections can be made, documentation requirements, and compliance considerations under HIPAA. Participants will gain practical strategies to maintain record integrity while meeting patient rights and regulatory expectations.
Learning Objectives:

Develop a procedure for reviewing and responding to patient requests for an amendment within the timeframe(s) required under the HIPAA Privacy Rule
Identify when a patient request to amend their record can be denied and the related documentation requirements
Discuss strategies for amending records shared through health information exchanges

Patient Consents and Authorizations: Compliance and Risk Management Strategies for Health Centers | Webinar
2026-06-18 13:00 - 14:00
Health centers must carefully manage patient consents and authorizations to ensure compliance with federal and state laws while minimizing organizational risk. From HIPAA requirements to 42 C.F.R. Part 2 and state-specific rules, navigating these overlapping frameworks can be complex. The rise of health information exchanges (HIEs) and interoperable electronic medical records (EMRs) has added another layer of complexity, with many health centers facing confusion about when patient consent is required and how authorizations must be structured across different systems. Failure to obtain or document proper consent exposes health centers to compliance findings, potential liability, and challenges to patient trust.
This webinar will provide practical guidance on structuring, documenting, and implementing patient consents and authorizations that withstand legal and regulatory scrutiny. The session will highlight common pitfalls, recent enforcement trends, and strategies to strengthen policies and practices so that patient rights are protected, and compliance risks are minimized.
Learning Objectives:

Understand the federal legal requirements governing patient consents and authorizations, including HIPAA and 42 C.F.R. Part 2.
Identify compliance risks that arise from incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent consent processes.
Apply practical strategies to strengthen documentation, workflows, and staff training around patient consents and authorizations.
Incorporate risk management considerations into policies and procedures to reduce liability exposure.

DEI and Nondiscrimination Laws: Navigating a Shifting Legal Landscape | Webinar
2026-07-16 13:00 - 14:00
Recent developments in case law and federal policy are reshaping how key nondiscrimination laws applicable to health centers are being interpreted, applied, and enforced by agencies, funders, and regulatory authorities. These shifts have raised questions about the legality of long-standing diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) policies and practices and may create tension with other programmatic, contractual, or state-level legal commitments.
This webinar will provide health centers with an overview of 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 explore how the legal environment is evolving. Because the legal and policy context is rapidly changing, the program will incorporate the most up-to-date developments available at the time of the session, giving participants practical guidance on how to approach DEI-related activities (such as targeted programs, data collection, and employment practices) in light of legal uncertainty and shifting norms.
*DISCLAIMER: Content will be updated prior to the webinar to reflect the latest legal and policy changes.
Learning Objectives:

Identify the core nondiscrimination laws applicable to health centers and their scope of enforcement.
Understand recent and emerging case law and federal policy developments that affect DEI-related policies and practices.
Evaluate how DEI initiatives may create compliance risks or conflicts with other legal requirements.
Apply a risk-informed approach to deciding whether and how to continue DEI-related activities in a changing environment.

Helping Patients Afford Medications Using the 340B Program and Other Tools | Webinar
2026-08-20 13:00 - 14:00
Health centers manage the health of their patients, including by prescribing drugs or helping patients fill prescriptions. Too often, patients encounter affordability issues at the pharmacy counter, whether because they are uninsured or have a high cost-sharing obligation. Though health centers might want to deploy resources to help their patients obtain their prescribed medication, state and federal fraud and abuse laws including the antikickback statute and patient inducement civil monetary penalty can create risk for well-intentioned actions. In addition, health centers are required to ensure that low-income patients who are uninsured or who have substantial cost-sharing obligations receive injectable epinephrine and insulin at discounted prices.
This session describes the challenges inherent in helping patients afford their medication and discusses strategies for complying with Notice of Award terms and assisting patients without triggering compliance risks.
Learning Objectives:

Identify the potential risks of providing patients with financial assistance outside of a structured policy.
Compare strategies for providing patient assistance.
Implement an insulin/injectable epinephrine policy that complies with Notice of Award requirements.
