The OIG Adds Hospital Inpatient Coding to Their Work Plan

The OIG Adds Hospital Inpatient Coding to Their Work Plan November 15, 2018

Today, the OIG issued their monthly Work Plan update, which now includes inpatient hospital billing.  The OIG will conduct analyses of hospital inpatient billing and conduct targeted audits of hospitals specifically geared to identify up-coding and/or incorrect coding practices which lead to overpayments.

We recommend you review the Work Plan updates monthly and conduct proactive audits of issues relevant to your organization.

The complete Work Plan can be found at https://oig.hhs.gov/reports-and-publications/workplan/index.asp
