Industry Note:

Watchdog Agency Wants Your Feedback On Self-Disclosure Changes

Published on Thu Jun 28, 2012

Do you have thoughts on how to improve the OIG's self-disclosure protocol? The watchdog agency would like to hear them.Since the OIG published the Provider Self-Disclosure Protocol in 1998, it has received more than 800 self-disclosures and recovered a resulting $280 million, it says in a June 18 Federal Register notice. "After over a decade of experience in resolving Protocol disclosures, we are considering revising the Protocol to provide additional guidance," the OIG says. "We are soliciting comments, recommendations, and other suggestions from concerned parties and organizations on how best to revise the Protocol to address relevant issues and to provide useful guidance to the health care industry."Comments are due by Aug. 17. See instructions for submission in the notice at http://go.usa.gov/vII.
