Background & Context
3 stories
2.1
The bloodborne-pathogens plan that fails on inspection.
OSHA inspections of healthcare facilities most commonly find three violations: an Exposure Control Plan that has not been reviewed annually (date-stamped review required), engineering controls that have not been re-evaluated when new devices are introduced, and post-exposure protocols that do not match the actual reporting workflow.
Why It Matters
Each citation carries per-violation penalties, and willful or repeat designations multiply them. Re-evaluation paperwork is the cheapest control to maintain.
2.2
Good Faith Estimates apply to far more practices than you think.
The No Surprises Act good-faith-estimate requirement applies to all licensed providers offering services to self-pay or uninsured patients — not just hospitals or large groups. The estimate must be provided within timeframes that vary by how far in advance the appointment is scheduled.
Why It Matters
Patient-provider dispute resolution under NSA typically defaults to the patient when the practice cannot produce a timely good-faith estimate. The penalty is the full disputed amount being struck.
2.3
340B recertification: the most-missed deadline in pharmacy compliance.
Covered entities must annually recertify their 340B eligibility through HRSA. Missing the recertification window pushes the entity to inactive status, which means immediate loss of 340B pricing and potentially diversion violations on previously dispensed drugs. Reinstatement requires a new application.
Why It Matters
The discount value of 340B pricing for a covered entity often exceeds six figures annually. Letting the recertification lapse for paperwork reasons is one of the most expensive administrative errors in the regulation.
