OIG Issues Guidance on Volentary
Disclosure of Health Care Fraud
The Department of Health and Human Services's Office of Inspector General ( OIG ) today unveiled an expanded and simplified program for health care providers to volentarily report fraudulent conduct affecting Medicare, Medicaid and other Federal health care programs.
Called the Provider Self-disclosure Protocol, it replaces a volentary disclosure program piolet tested by the OIG over a two-year period. The Protocol, which is effective immediately, provides detailed guidance to health care providers that decide volentary to disclose irregularities in their dealings with the Federal health care programs. It will be published in the Federal Register and posted on the OIG's Internet Site (
www.hhs.gov/progorg/oig ).
Unlike the piolet program,which was only available to 'certain' health care providers in a few States and had strict eligibility requirements, the new program is OPEN TO ALL providers Nationwide under signaficantly relaxed requirements for participation. While not protected from civil or criminal action under the False Claims Act, providers disclosing fraud are advised in the Protocol that the self reporting of wrongdoing could be a mitigating factor in OIG's recommendations to prosecuting agencies.
" Major modifications have been made to the Volentary Disclosure Program in response to the needs of the many honest providers trying to do the right thing, " Inspector General June Gibbs Brown said in Announcing the revisions. " we have sought to address the concerns of the Provider community by removing disincentives to participation while at the same time emphasizing that providers have legal and ethical duty to identify and correct incidents of Non compliance with program requirements."
The Piolet Volentary Disclosure Program was introduced in 1995 as part of Operation Restore Trust ( ORT ), a major anti-fraud initiative aimed at Dishonest durable medical equipement, home health care, nursing home, and hospice care providers in California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas. To be eligible, an applicant had to be a Corporate Entity doing business in one of the ORT States in one of the provider industries being examined. Morever, a participant had to disclose a matter that was not allready under investigation by or known to a Federal or State Law Enforcement Authority. In addition, the participant was required to sign an agreement to fully cooperate with authorities.
These requirements have been dropped from the Protocol. NOW ALL health care providers doing business with Medicare, Medicaid, or Other Federal health care programs that Want to disclose VOILATIONS OF LAW are eligible for acceptance into the Program. There are NO Pre-disclosure requirements, applications for admission, or preliminary qualifying characterisitics that must be met. If, after an initial assessment, a provider uncovers suspected Fraud or other problems involving the Federal health care programs, the Provider is urged to report the discovery to the OIG. The Provider will have the option of doing SELF-audit in conformance with OIG Guidance. The Protocol offers a detailed step-by-step explaination of how a provider should proceed in reporting and assessing the extent of Wrongdoing and how the OIG will go about verifying irregularities.
Self-reporting offers Providers the opportunity to minumize the potential cost and disruption of a Full Scale audit and Investigation, to negotiate a fair monentary settlement, and to avoid an OIG permissive Exclusion [CITE: 42CFR1003.105] preventing the entity from doing business with the Federal health care programs. Because a provider's disclosure can involve anything from a simple error to outright Fraud, the OIG is not making any commitments as to how a particular disclosure will be resolved or the specific benefit that will ensure to the disclosing entity. Providers are simply told that full disclosure and cooperation generally benefits the individual or Company, and that the OIG will report on the provider's involvement and level of cooperation to the Department of Justice or other government agency affected by the disclosed matter.

ACTION: Notice.
---------------------------------[ 42CFR438.704 ]--------------------------------------
SUMMARY:
This Federal Register notice seeks the input and
recommendations of interested parties as OIG revises the compliance
PROGRAM guidance (CPG) for Nursing Facilities, ESPECIALLY [ Targeting T42CFR417.1 HHS denial of covered claims ] THOSE SERVING Medicare, Medicaid, and other [ OPM FEHBP, CHAMPVA,TRICARE ] FEDERAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM [ Entitled INDIVIDUAL ] BENEFICIARIES.
The nursing home industry has experienced a number of changes since OIG FIRST PUBLISHED a CPG in this area (65 FR 14289; March 16, 2000 ).<~~ RICO
Additionally, the subsequent years of enforcement and compliance activity in the Nursing Home Industry [ Judiciary Committee HR 3199 | FBI et al ~ T18CFR286CRIME - T18CFR242CRIME ] has ALLOWED OIG to address more fully the various risk areas in Nursing Home [ T42CFR409.33 ] compliance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The development of CPGs is a *MAJOR ( Program \ 1998 Volentary Disclousure Program ) initiative of OIG in its effort to engage the private health care industry in addressing and combating fraud and abuse. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, OIG has developed and issued CPGs directed at various segments of the health care industry. These guidances are DESIGNED [ T42CFR417.1 to coordinate Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement activities ~T18CFR1518CRIME Obstruction T18CFR371CRIME ~ 1998 Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control T18CFR242crime Program ~ fraud by fright ~ RICO ~ 1996 HIPAA Violation ] to provide CLEAR DIRECTION and assistance to SPECIFIC sections of the health care industry that are interested in addressing compliance with Federal Health Care Program [ T42CFR409.33 ] requirements. The CPGs set forth OIG's suggestions on how [ FEHB|HMO HAPCORP.ORG ] 'PROVIDERS CAN' most effectively establish 'Internal Controls' [ SELF-Audit T18CFR286CRIME ] and implement monitoring procedures [ T42CFR417.1 grievance procedures - misPrison of felony T18CFR242CRIME anti-dumping violation ] to identify, correct, and prevent potentially Fraudulent Conduct.
OIG would appreciate specific comments, recommendations, and suggestions on risk areas for the nursing home industry, such as the submission of [ T42CFR417.1 Adverse Determinations ] FALSE CLAIMS, as well as QUALITY of CARE concerns, KICKBACKS, and accurate reporting of data to [ HCFA - forced T42CFR417.1 Medicaid kickback conversions ] Medicare and Medicaid. Detailed justifications and empirical data supporting any suggestions would be appreciated.

OIG verifies the information contained in the provider's submission and evaluates the matter for potential fraud issues. We endeavor to work cooperatively with providers who are forthcoming, thorough, and transparent in their disclosures in resolving these matters.

Dear Ms. Kimball:
We have received your letter dated October 9,2001 indicating your strong dissatisfaction over the way your mother's medical care was [ T42CFR417.1 denied ] handled by her [ Federal OPM FEHB ] HMO [ Health Alliance Plan Detroit ].
Your dissatisfaction appears to arise from the fact that her final days of care were paid in full by Medicaid rather than by her HMO [ <~ this is called a KICKBACK / felony ], which you believe should have been the financial responsible entity. It also appears that you have allready contacted the approiate Offices for [ HCFA ] Medicare / Medicaid [ False Claims Act ] and your mother's [ Federal OPM FEHB ] HMO and you have received responses, albeit unsatisfactory to you.
Without a finding [ T42CFR417.1 illegal agreement - Systemic Deprivations - misprison of a felony ] by the investigative arm of Medicaid [ Region 5 HCFA illegal agreement with U.S. Attorneys in MI and Ohio ], or any other Federal investigative agency [ misprison of a felony T18CFR1518CRIME ] that there was impropriety in this case this [ Region 5 HCFA ] Office is without Authority [ Color of Law ] to regulate the manner in which [ Federal/State ] GOVERNMENT and Private ( HMO ) INSURANCE COMPANIES assess suscriber needs [ T42CFR417.1 Denial of COVERED Claims ~ RICO ] or Define Service Coverage. [ T42CFR409.33 Federal Requirements ]
If you continue to feel that your mother's care or her [ OPM FEHBP ] ENTITLEMENT to benefits was JEOPARDIZED [ T5CFR890.105 systematic denial of COVERED Claims ], you are, of course, free to consult with a private attorney [ T18CFR1518CRIME Alternate Dispute Resolution T18CFR242CRIME ] to explore any legal options that may be available to you.
