Publication of OIG Special Fraud Alerts

요약

This Federal Register notice sets forth the 5 previously- developed Special Fraud Alerts issued directly to the health care provider community by the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG). In keeping with the OIG's goal and intent of publicizing its concern about possible widespread and abusive health care industry practices, and seeking wider dissemination of this information to the general public, we are republishing the main content of these Special Fraud Alerts in the Federal Register. This notice also serves to alert the general public of our intention to publish all future OIG Special Fraud Alerts in this same manner, in addition to the current method used to distribute this material to Medicare and State health care program providers.
