The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG) recently updated its 2021 Work Plan in January to include audits of Medicare Part B and home health telehealth services by OIG’s Office of Audit Services (OAS). OAS conducts independent audits of HHS programs, HHS grantees, and contractors to examine their performance in carrying out their responsibilities and to provide independent assessments of HHS programs and operations. The announcement of these audits follows on the heels of the announcement in October 2020 of OIG’s plan to assess the use of telehealth by Medicare beneficiaries during the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE).
