HHS Inspector General’s Increased Enforcement Activity: Navigating New Medicaid Compliance Program Requirements

July 2023 marked a period of heightened enforcement activity for the Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General. Legal professionals, particularly those working with corporations and law firms closely entwined with the healthcare industry, would want to follow these recent developments closely.

The comprehensive shifts in the enforcement guidelines affect various elements of compliance, particularly those connected with Medicaid Compliance Program requirements. New York’s 2020 and 2022 updates to these requirements look set to be key points of focus within this framework. The intricate nature of compliance program regulations is likely to influence the operations of several corporates and legal firms with vested interests.

If you’re interested in understanding these changes and its ramifications in detail, New York-based law firm Harris Beach PLLC has put together a series of resourceful compliance programs. The seven-part series is designed to address the newly established requirements, providing an overview of each separately. These live programs, starting on August 16th, will be held over consecutive Wednesdays at noon, and will not exceed 30 minutes each, ensuring professionals can fit this valuable knowledge acquisition into their busy schedules.

Programs like these can serve as an invaluable resource for professionals in legal and corporate environments, assisting in navigating these potentially complex new requirements. Through these conversations, legal professionals and corporations can ensure their practices align with new standards, thereby reinforcing their commitment to upholding the highest standards of legal compliance and governance.
