Our eBook journey began with the release of The Ultimate Guide to Exclusion Monitoring. It covers everything you need to know about OIG exclusion monitoring and the OIG’s regulations surrounding monthly monitoring and exclusion databases. We received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback for our exclusions eBook, so we decided to tackle the ins and outs of vendor monitoring as well. This 40+ page read covers the details and risks of not complying with OIG regulations as it pertains to vendor monitoring.
Beyond Employee Monitoring Sneak Peak:
In healthcare, organizations are liable not only for the inherent risk associated with its own employees and services but also for monitoring their third-party vendors (who supply everything from medical equipment to kitchen supplies) to ensure none are excluded from federal or state healthcare programs.
Just when you think you’ve figured it out, new layers of regulations are added, causing you to scramble to keep your organization compliant. In the OIG Special Advisory of 2013, the OIG laid out guidelines for monitoring vendors (i.e. companies/entities/individuals) recommending monthly exclusion monitoring.
On top of the 2013 new regulation, starting in 2014 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare” as it is commonly called, laid out new rules as well. Not only do you have to monitor your vendors/entities, but also starting in 2014, it is best practice to monitor any owner of the vendor with more than 5% ownership stake.
Monitoring your vendors is just as important to an effective compliance plan as monitoring your employees. You must actively review your company’s policy to ensure monthly monitoring of vendors. Taking this type of action will significantly help to create a “risk-free” zone void of a painful HR tumble. A collaborative approach to compliance risk management is essential for the overall health of your organization.
