HCCA/OIG Roundtable Reports

A Summary of the Government-Industry Roundtable on the
Role of Governance in Compliance Programs
June 16, 2004, Office of Inspector General

On Monday, July 30, 2001, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services and the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA) cosponsored
the third Government-industry roundtable.

The roundtable discussions were an opportunity for health care providers operating under a corporate integrity agreement (CIA) to inform the OIG of the issues surrounding the implementation and maintenance of compliance programs. The meeting also offered the OIG the opportunity to present its CIA policy objectives and receive providers’ unique insights on ways to accomplish these
objectives.

Over 50 compliance professionals and 30 government representatives attended the day long event, which was organized into a large group discussion and then a series of breakout sessions. The compliance professionals represented a wide spectrum of institutional and provider organizations and the Government participants included members of the OIG, Department of Justice, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

The objective of the meeting was not to reach consensus on the many issues that surround
compliance with health care program requirements, but rather share perspectives on
implementing and maintaining effective compliance programs. From this meeting, the “Building a Partnership for Effective Compliance” report was generated. This document, the HCCA has worked with the OIG and the health care compliance industry to conduct two other roundtables.
