Risk, Controls and Compliance: Litigation Response

Payers operate in a complex and ever-changing regulatory environment and an increasingly litigious marketplace. Dealing constructively with disputes and the possibility of investigations by regulators requires an understanding of complicated legal structures and regulatory and accountability requirements. Payers who face investigation can experience business disruption, damaged reputation, diminution of shareholder value, strained relationships with regulators, significant fines, and civil and criminal liability, among many other risks.
