Article Abstract

Healthcare organizations concerned about corporate compliance need to review securing appropriate insurance coverage as part of their corporate compliance program. Provider organizations often mistakenly expect that their directors and officers liability (D&O), malpractice, or standard errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policies will cover the cost of Medicare fraud and abuse fines. The insurance industry has developed a specific billing E&O insurance product to cover providers that run afoul of government fraud and abuse statutes.
