Step 1 · Welcome & Enrollment

Welcome to FACHE Board Prep

When a client purchases through Coral Med, they land here with a clear 12-week roadmap to the Board of Governors exam — no guesswork about what to study or when.

"A disciplined 12-week runway to Fellow — competency by competency."

What you get

Weekly domain briefings — one BOG competency area at a time, taught for the exam.
Checkpoint quizzes — after every domain, with rationale on each answer.
Two full-length simulations — timed, exam-format practice with scoring.
A daily support email — a short morning prompt with the day's study focus and one practice question. Candidates tell us it's what keeps 12 weeks on track.
IACET-aligned certificate — 4.0 CEUs on completion, issued and recorded by the provider.

A daily support email keeps the 12 weeks on track

Board prep fails on consistency, not intelligence. Each morning a short email delivers the day's focus and one practice question — small, steady momentum toward exam day.

Week 4 · Day 3 — Healthcare Law 📋

Today: the Anti-Kickback Statute vs. Stark — how examiners tell them apart. Quick check: Stark is a strict-liability statute; does it require intent? Read the 2-minute briefing, then answer today's item.

Why it matters: candidate feedback names the daily email as the most value-adding support — one small, exam-relevant prompt a day that sustains momentum across all 12 weeks.
Step 3 · Orientation & Diagnostic (IACET Cat. 4 & 5)

Before Week 1: a diagnostic baseline

Each candidate takes a scored diagnostic across all 10 domains. It sets a measurable baseline and flags weak areas so study time is targeted — the same items reappear at the end to demonstrate growth.

Program learning outcomes

On completion, the learner will be able to:

  • Analyze governance and fiduciary scenarios using ACHE frameworks.
  • Apply healthcare finance concepts (operating margin, revenue cycle, capital budgeting) to case problems.
  • Evaluate quality/patient-safety approaches against regulatory standards.
  • Answer BOG-format questions at or above the passing threshold under timed conditions.

Diagnostic (sample)

Rate your current confidence in Financial Management for the BOG exam.

Baseline recorded — your study plan now weights weaker domains. We'll re-measure at Week 12.
Step 4 · Inside a Domain

Domain 4 · Laws & Regulations

This is exactly what opens when a candidate clicks a domain — the same layered structure as the live product. Every domain carries a full learning kit, not just a reading and a quiz. Click the tabs.

What the BOG actually tests here

Expect 2–4 scenario questions. Rarely "define the statute" — instead: spot the structural violation, name the law that was breached, and choose the right next step (disclose, recuse, escalate, document).

The four you must know cold: EMTALA · Stark Law · Anti-Kickback Statute · HIPAA — plus the seven elements of an effective compliance program.

Lesson plan · ~3 hrs

Learning objectives for this domain — the learner will be able to:

  • Differentiate EMTALA, Stark, Anti-Kickback and HIPAA by trigger, intent standard, and penalty.
  • Identify the seven elements of an effective corporate compliance program.
  • Apply each statute to a board-level fact pattern and choose the correct executive action.

Does the Stark Law require proof of intent?
No — Stark is a strict-liability statute (no intent needed). The Anti-Kickback Statute is the one that requires knowing & willful intent.

Scenario drill

A trustee's brother-in-law owns an HVAC company that submits a bid on the hospital's facilities contract. The trustee says nothing and votes on the award.

Name the duty breached and the right next step. Answer: Duty of loyalty — the trustee must disclose the conflict and recuse from the vote; the board documents it. This is a conflict-of-interest / duty-of-loyalty item, not a "should they disclose" judgment call.

Domains completed

Weeks 11–12 are dedicated to two full-length, timed BOG simulations with score reports and a targeted review of missed items.
Step 6 · Final Assessment (IACET Cat. 7)

Week 12: full-length simulation

To earn the certificate, the candidate completes all domains and passes a timed, exam-format simulation. A sample item:

A hospital's operating margin has been negative for three quarters. As CEO, your board most needs from you first:

The simulation is timed and scored to the ACHE passing standard. A candidate who does not complete all domains and pass does not receive CEUs. Full item bank lives in the provider's assessment system.

Records (IACET Cat. 8): the provider retains each learner's completion record, quiz and simulation scores, and CEUs awarded for a minimum of 7 years. Note: official IACET CEUs are issued once the provider holds active IACET Accredited Provider status; this certificate demonstrates the compliant structure. FACHE Board prep supports, but is separate from, ACHE's own Fellow credentialing.
