Webinar Series: OIG’s New Compliance Guidance for Nursing Facilities

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has unveiled its first-ever Segment-Specific Compliance Program Guidance (ICPG), a monumental step in shaping compliance standards for the healthcare industry. Leading the way, Skilled Nursing Facilities and Nursing Facilities are the first focus of this guidance, with a clear message: “Improving the quality of care and safety of residents within nursing facilities is a top priority for OIG.” 

This ICPG is designed to help nursing facilities navigate the complexities of compliance while ensuring residents receive the highest standards of care. For organizations in this sector, understanding the details of this guidance is crucial to aligning with OIG expectations and safeguarding operations. 

What’s in the Nursing Facility ICPG?

The Nursing Facility ICPG sets the tone for future segment-specific guidance by addressing several key areas of compliance, including: 

  • Introduction to the ICPG: Understanding the OIG’s goals and priorities for nursing facilities. 
  • Quality of Care and Quality of Life: Emphasizing resident safety and care standards. 
  • Medicare and Medicaid Billing Requirements: Ensuring proper billing practices to avoid penalties. 

With additional ICPGs for other healthcare segments expected in the future, this guidance provides a framework for improving compliance and accountability across the industry.
