The conversation covers the complex regulatory framework governing broker arrangements, the implications of recent enforcement actions, and practical takeaways for providers. Listen in for an insightful analysis of these critical issues affecting the health care industry, and stay tuned for part two, where the focus will shift to enforcement in the patient assistance program space.
