    Abstract:
    The Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG), has advised hospices and other health care providers to formulate effective controls to ensure compliance with federal and state statutes, rules, and regulations, and private-payor health care program requirements. This is the second of three installments that focus specifically on the 28 risk areas identified in the guidance and offer strategies for incorporating them in a hospice compliance program. This article covers the areas of Expensive Care, Documentation, Interdisciplinary Group, and Kickbacks.
