What are the benefits? 3. How does it help the hospitals? 4. Is it convenient to use? and whatever more you can add to it would be awesome.

At Home is a home health company.  HHS regulations specify that At Home is only permitted to bill for patients if two conditions are satisfied. First, the patient has to be homebound. Second, the patient has to be certified by a physician to be homebound. The regulation expressly states that “both conditions are material conditions of payment, and no payment shall be made if either condition is not satisfied.” Notwithstanding these requirements, from the beginning of 2010 through the end of 2016, At Home routinely billed for patients who were homebound, but for whom At Home lacked a physician certification that the patients were homebound.  The claim forms that At Home submitted for these payments only required At Home to attest to the fact that the patient was homebound and said nothing about a physician certification. When it first started billing for home health services in 2010, At Home submitted a letter to HHS stating that since the attestation on the billing form did not reference the physician certification requirement, At Home assumed HHS did consider this requirement to be material and thus At Home was not complying with it.   At Home never received a response to this letter.  Nevertheless, in 2017, At Home became concerned about the fact that it was submitting claims for homebound patients without physician certifications, and stopped the practice.  It also notified HHS of its prior practice of submitting claims for homebound patients where a physician certification was lacking and paid HHS back for each such claim.     You are a renowned attorney who specializes in representing whistleblowers under the False Claims Act.  In January 2018, an employee of At Home, Ms. Lai Zee, contacts you to ask your advice on the following three questions: Whether At Home’s conduct between 2010 and 2016 violated any provision of the False Claims Act, and if so, why? If there has been a False Claims Act violation, whether At Home is liable for any damages, and if so, why? Whether there is any bar to Ms. Zee filing a qui tam action alleging a violation of the False Claims Act.   What advice do you give to Ms. Zee ?

You recently completed your company’s new compensation plan. You are happy with the results but know there is more to retaining the employees than just pay, and you don’t currently have a retention plan. Your organization is a large staffing firm, consisting of several offices on the West Coast. The majority of employees are staffing recruiters, and they fill full-time and temporary positions for a variety of clients. One of the challenges you face is a difference in geographical areas, and as a result, there are differences in what may motivate employees. As you initially look at turnover numbers, you have the sense that turnover has increased over the last five months with a total of 84 employees leaving the organization over this period. Your initial thoughts are the need for a better retention strategy, utilizing a bonus structure as well as other methods of retention. Currently, your organization pays a straight salary to employees, does not offer flextime or telecommuting options, focuses on individual performance (number of staffing placements) rather than team performance, and provides five days of vacation for every two years with the organization. Month Separated Employees Total Number of Employees Midmonth March 12 552 April 14 541 May 16 539 June 20 548 July 22 545 Calculate monthly turnover for the past five months. What are the possible reasons for the turnover in your organization and other organizations? What steps would you take to remedy the situation? Provide your answers in an essay format that can include a table demonstrating how you have calculated turnover. Respond to the questions above and develop your response to indicate how you have determined your conclusions.
