CodeMap® Compliance Briefing: March 24, 2021

Editor's Welcome:

Last month, the OIG quietly added an action item to its ongoing Work Plan directly concerning clinical laboratories and the testing they perform. Today's CodeMap® Compliance Briefing will discuss this Plan Item because not only does it indicate new OIG concerns about clinical laboratories and billing, but it also expresses how important the OIG thinks laboratory testing and services are for Medicare beneficiaries. Such positive statements concerning clinical laboratories are unusual from the OIG. As always, please send us your comments, suggestions, and questions via email.
