The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) recently released its FY 2016 Work Plan, in which it identified key areas of focus for the upcoming year. Consistent with its mandate to detect fraud, waste, and abuse, and to hold accountable those who do not meet program requirements or who violate Federal health care laws, the OIG’s Work Plan outlines several enforcement initiatives. As a result of the its enforcement initiatives in FY 2015, the OIG excluded over 4,000 individuals and entities from Federal health care program participation and expects to recover over $3 billion in Federal health care program payments. The 2016 Work Plan runs the gamut of the healthcare industry and offers providers a valuable tool for staying ahead of OIG’s enforcement and recovery initiatives.
