The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) of Rosslyn, VA, and the American College of Radiology (ACR) of Reston, VA, will co-sponsor a public discussion on ethics at the RSNA meeting later this month.
The November 29 forum -- titled "Dining With Doctors: The Only Industry Where Being Nice to Your Customer Can Land You in Jail" -- is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in Room S-404-CD in the South building at McCormick Place.
NEMA's Code of Ethics was developed in 2004 to help medical imaging suppliers and their customers understand their legal compliance obligations, and to manage and avoid legal risk. Speakers are expected to address recent indictments and other legal actions brought by the government to enforce the Medicare and fraud laws.
Attendees of the program will earn continuing medical education credit.
