On December 28, 2022, New York State Register published a summary of the New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General's ("OMIG") Notice of Adoption for Rulemaking on Medicaid Program Fraud, Waste and Abuse Prevention. This finalizes the Proposed Rulemaking that was published on July 13, 2022.
Harris Beach is planning webinars in 2023 to address the adopted regulation. Follow this blog for dates and registration detail. The upcoming programs will update 2022's webinars on compliance program requirements in Part 521-1 and self-disclosure in Part 521-3.
Although some changes were made to the regulatory language, OMIG characterizes those changes as "nonsubstantial."
