The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) and other regulatory bodies have made it clear that a compliance program must be demonstrated as being “fully effective.” Between January 1 and June 30, 2017, the DOJ announced $817 million in FCA (False Claims Act) recoveries from health care providers, putting it on pace to exceed the approximately $1.1 billion recovered from FCA settlements with providers in all of 2016.
The OIG has noted that organizations should incorporate independent reviews and compliance program effectiveness evaluations to identify compliance gaps and evince that the compliance program is effective. Compliance Officers are expected to demonstrate that the compliance program covers all seven elements outlined by the OIG and that key metrics are tracked to prove compliance effectiveness.
