The US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) announced on April 25 that it would be updating its Compliance Program Guidances (CPGs).
Since 1998, OIG has released a series of CPGs focused on different healthcare industry participants, including, among others, hospitals, physician practices, home health agencies, hospices, clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and third-party medical billing companies. The CPGs provide voluntary, nonbinding guidance on the development, implementation, and evaluation of effective healthcare compliance programs.
OIG’s changes to its compliance guidance process, which stem from feedback received through the agency’s request for information related to its Modernization Initiative To Improve Its Publicly Available Resources, are aimed at “modernizing the accessibility and usability” of the CPGs.
