Based on AHLA's annual Health Law Connections article, this special ten-part series brings together thought leaders from across the health law field to discuss the top ten issues of 2026. In the fourth episode, Okem Nwogu, Managing Director, StoneTurn, speaks with Megha Mathur, Associate, Barnes & Thornburg LLP, about recent trends in health care fraud and abuse enforcement and how health care organizations should respond. They discuss the shift in enforcement from volume to scale, compliance breakdowns that trigger scrutiny in areas that dominate enforcement like telehealth, the link between reimbursement and liability as it relates to risk-adjustment coding, and how compliance programs should adjust given the new data-driven enforcement approach.
