Richard Merino recently hosted an episode of the American Health Law Association’s Speaking of Health Law podcast. He was joined by Leia C. Olsen (Lead System Compliance and Investigations Counsel, Ascension), Jonathan Porter (Partner, Husch Blackwell), and William Brady (Partner, Holland & Knight LLP) to discuss how healthcare organizations can respond strategically to governmental inquiries.

The episode covers types of investigative demands, how governmental investigations usually start, the first forty-eight hours of an investigation, why organizations should conduct “parallel investigations,” why collaboration with the government usually makes sense, and when to approach the question of a settlement.
