HealthcareLINC Q&A ▸ Key takeaways from OIG's compliance guidance for nursing facilities

Effective compliance programs are essential for nursing facilities to ensure they meet Medicare conditions of participation, as well as other federal and state laws. The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General’s nursing facility guidance is designed to help nursing facilities identify and mitigate risks, reduce fraud and abuse, and improve patient care.

In this HealthcareLINC Attorney Q&A, healthcare lawyer Greg Frogge provides an overview of the OIG’s Nursing Facility Industry Segment-Specific Compliance Program Guidance (ICPG), including risk areas identified in the guidance, specific recommendations to promote compliance, and how the Trump administration’s enforcement efforts impact nursing facilities.
