View Rule

This rule is being issued by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services’ Regulatory Sprint to Coordinated Care.  It adds safe harbor protections under the Federal anti-kickback statute for certain coordinated care and associated value-based arrangements between or among clinicians, providers, suppliers, and others that squarely meet all safe harbor conditions.  It also adds protections under the anti-kickback statute and civil monetary penalty (CMP) law that prohibits inducements offered to beneficiaries for certain patient engagement and support arrangements to improve quality of care, health outcomes, and efficiency of care delivery that squarely meet all safe harbor conditions. The rule also modifies some existing safe harbors and adds additional new safe harbors, including a statutory safe harbor and a CMP exception.
