OIG Releases 2009 Work Plan
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG) has released its Work Plan for FY 2009. The OIG Work Plan is released annually, and identifies priority areas for OIG review/investigation that the agency believes are HHS' most vulnerable programs and activities. Most of the projects described in the Work Plan focus on familiar themes, such as quality of care, transparency, reimbursement, minimum data set (MDS), antipsychotic drugs and durable medical equipment (DME), among others - all of which have already been identified in OIG enforcement actions.
