$119 | Did you know that compliance programs for individual and small group physician practices shifted from voluntary to mandatory with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)? Since 2010, all healthcare providers enrolling in Medicare or Medicaid have been required to establish, implement, and maintain an effective compliance program as a condition of participation. This educational session will guide learners through the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) recommended framework for developing compliance programs in individual and small-group practices. The presentation will break down the essential elements of an effective program and help participants understand how these standards support ethical practice operations. According to the OIG, a strong compliance program not only reduces the risk of fraud and abuse but also supports physicians in submitting accurate, complete, and truthful claims. By adopting these best practices, providers can protect their organizations, ensure regulatory adherence, and promote a culture of integrity in healthcare delivery.
