The Office of Inspector General Draft Compliance Program Guidance for Individual and Small Group Physician Practices  
 

This compliance program guidance is intended to assist individual and small group physician practices ("physician practices") in developing and implementing internal controls and procedures that promote adherence to statutes and regulations applicable to the Federal health care programs ("Federal health care program requirements") and private insurance program requirements. Compliance programs strengthen the efforts of Government and the private sector to prevent and reduce improper conduct. These programs can also further the mission of all physician practices to provide quality care to their patients.

Many physicians have expressed an interest in better protecting their practices from the potential for fraudulent or erroneous conduct through the implementation of compliance programs. While the Office of Inspector General (OIG) believes that the great majority of physicians are honest and share our goal of protecting the integrity of Medicare and other Federal health care programs, all health care providers have a duty to ensure that the claims submitted to Federal health care programs are true and accurate. The development of effective compliance programs in physician practices will go a long way toward achieving this goal.

Through this document, the OIG provides its views on the fundamental elements of physician practice compliance programs, as well as the principles that each physician practice should consider when developing and implementing an effective compliance program. While this document presents basic procedural and structural guidance for designing a compliance program, it is not in and of itself a compliance program. Rather, it is a set of guidelines that physician practices should consider when developing and implementing a compliance program. As stated in previous guidance, these guidelines are not mandatory. Nor do they represent an exclusive document of advisable elements of a compliance program. They are a resource to be considered in addition to other OIG outreach efforts, as well as other Federal agency efforts to promote compliance.
