Demystifying Open Payments: Financial Relationships That Trigger Compliance Risk
Recorded on Thursday, January 22, 2026
It’s rarely bad intent that lands a provider or organization in regulatory trouble. More often, it’s routine financial interactions, informal practices, or incomplete documentation that quietly accumulate into compliance and reputational risk.
In this on-demand webinar, healthcare compliance consultant Jessica Zeff unpacks the everyday financial relationships that frequently draw scrutiny — particularly under the Sunshine Act, also known as Open Payments. Although the data is publicly reported, Open Payments remains one of the most misunderstood and operationally challenging compliance areas.
Drawing on real-world examples, Jessica walks through the types of interactions that trigger reviews and enforcement activity, and the internal processes and controls that help organizations stay aligned not only with Open Payments requirements, but also with the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) and Stark Law.
Participants will leave with a practical understanding of:
✓ Common, real-life scenarios that create Open Payments exposure
✓ How to identify patterns or trends that may signal emerging compliance risk
✓ The governance, monitoring, and documentation controls that help prevent reporting and disclosure issues before they escalate
