Annual Work Plans from the Office of Inspector General (OIG)

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) was established at the Department of Health and Human Services by Congress in 1976 to identify and eliminate fraud, abuse, and waste in the Department's programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and to promote efficiency, economy, and effectiveness in departmental operations. As part the OIG commitment to working with industry, it alerts providers to certain marketing and other practices used by some independent consultants that should concern providers and that may put the Medicare and Medicaid programs at increased risk of abuse.
