f you are wondering if it is worth your time, trouble, and dollars to develop a practice compliance plan, consider the alternatives. If a practice finds itself facing health care fraud and abuse charges, it may have to agree to a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA). Visit the Department of Health and Human Services website at www.hhs.gov/progorg/oig/cia/ciacurrent.htm to learn what that would entail.. After reading the requirements mandated by a CIA, developing a compliance plan may suddenly seem entirely worth the effort.
