Description

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has developed a series of voluntary compliance program guidance documents directed at various segments of the health care industry, such as hospitals, nursing homes, third-party billers, and durable medical equipment suppliers, to encourage the development and use of internal controls to monitor adherence to applicable statutes, regulations, and program requirements. Vermont OIL/SAM Search Compliance Programs are regulatory initiatives designed to ensure compliance with the Office of Inspector General (OIL) and System for Award Management (SAM) guidelines in the state of Vermont. These programs aim to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in federally funded healthcare programs and procurement activities. The Vermont OIL/SAM Search Compliance Programs include several distinct types, each addressing specific areas of compliance. These programs are: 1.
