Article Overview

This article explains OIG’s model compliance plan guidance for third-party medical billing companies and how it is intended to be adapted across different company sizes, resources, specialties, and risk areas. It is relevant to billing company compliance leaders, provider organizations that outsource billing, and anyone responsible for training, auditing, contracting, or misconduct investigation processes. The article focuses on general compliance-program structure, coordination with provider clients, written allocation of responsibilities, and cautions about ineffective or overly superficial programs.

Why This Topic Matters
