The ACA was recently notified that the Office of Inspector General (OIG)* is currently conducting a nationwide review of the chiropractic profession. Doctors of chiropractic have received letters requesting records for services provided during calendar year 2013. It is critical that all doctors of chiropractic who receives a letter from the OIG responds with the requested documentation and by the specified deadline.
We strongly recommend that doctors of chiropractic who receive an OIG record request consult with their personal attorney and also contact ACA via e-mail at [email protected] so that we can provide essential information to help you navigate the OIG request process.**
Please contact ACA with any questions.
* The Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) is the entity dedicated to identifying and combating fraud, waste and abuse and improving efficiency in Medicare, Medicaid and other HHS programs.
