Saving...
Today’s medical economics are mandating return of over payments. With this, the Office of the Inspector General’s (OIG) Work Plan for 2012 offers a mixed variety of challenges for providers, suppliers and facilities. If the OIG targets an issue in its Work Plan, normally it is because there is money to be recouped. It is simply performing its due diligence to prevent, make sure over payments are returned and mandate quality of care.
Which is why every provider, supplier and facility needs to be aware of the risk of non-compliance due to lack of knowledge on this plan.
