The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) announced that it will host a series of six regional compliance training sessions. According to the OIG’s press release, the "sessions will feature government experts from OIG, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, United States Attorneys’ Offices, and State Medicaid Fraud Control Units to talk about the realities of health care fraud and the importance of implementing an effective compliance program.”
The OIG’s three-pronged message during the sessions will be to help providers:
• Understand the fraud and abuse laws and the consequences of violating them
• Cultivate a culture of compliance in their organizations
• Understand what to do when noncompliance is discovered
The six half-day sessions will occur in Houston, Tx.; Tampa, Fla.; Kansas City, Mo.; Baton Rouge, La.; Denver; and Washington, D.C.
