The Office of the Inspector General continues to encourage voluntary self-disclosure by organizations that identify problems as a result of their compliance audits. Recent studies released by this office continue to focus on reasons why improper billingand payments occur and the organization’s responsibility to self-report. For that reason, it continues to be important for home care organizations to scrutinize billingpractices and all aspects of patient care. When concerns are found, the organizations must know and follow the guidelines for self-disclosure. These guidelines for disclosure were originally published in the Federal Register in 1998. In March 2000, the Inspector General released a letter to health care providers that once again indicated that the success of a compliance program was in its ability to identify problematic areas, to respond appropriately, and to voluntarily self-report findings.
