Although MJHS Hospice entered into a health care fraud settlement with the United States, MJHS Hospice refused to agree to compliance-related oversight with HHS-OIG through a CIA. Therefore, as part of the Settlement Agreement, OIG reserved the right to exclude MJHS Hospice for the alleged conduct. Because MJHS Hospice refused appropriate integrity obligations, OIG may use various tools to monitor MJHS Hospice’s compliance with the Federal health care programs.
