Hold the Phone: OIG Issues a Telemedicine Special Fraud Alert [telecom]

Show all headers | View raw

Monday, July 25, 2022

In 2020, as part of its broader National Health Care Fraud Takedown,
the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) charged 345 individuals,
including over 100 licensed medical professionals, for their role in
“schemes” and “scams” that “leverage aggressive marketing and
so-called telehealth services to commit fraud.”1 Now the OIG is urging
providers not to get caught up in such schemes in the first place. A
recently issued Special Fraud Alert2, identifies seven “suspect
characteristics” that do not necessarily mean an arrangement is
illegal, but may suggest heightened risk.

I came across this while looking for something else: it's a
bit dated, but still worth looking at.
