As the Office of the Inspector General and Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services make self-disclosure easier for providers, we have noticed an increase in the rate of cases that are being filed. Assisting providers in making decisions whether to self-disclose, conducting internal investigations, and guiding the self-disclosure process when appropriate has become a large part of our compliance practice. Here are just a few of the articles and other resources we have released regarding self-disclosure issues:
Exercising Reasonable Care to Identify and Address Potential Overpayments
