Healthcare is a multi-trillion-dollar industry that remains highly regulated.

Every year the OIG releases its respective work plan which highlights areas and services that represent high-priority audit targets during the upcoming year. Each year the OIG releases their respective work plan which highlights areas and services that represent high-priority audit targets during the upcoming fiscal year and releases monthly updates to the work plan.
