Compliance Program Guidance (CPG)

Compliance Program Guidance (CPG) refers to a series of detailed guidelines issued by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to support healthcare providers in establishing robust internal controls to ensure adherence to regulations. These guidelines are designed to help organizations implement comprehensive compliance programs that prevent, detect, and address potential violations of healthcare laws and regulations. CPG provides a framework for developing policies and procedures that align with legal and ethical standards, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of compliance efforts. By following CPG, healthcare providers can mitigate risks, improve operational integrity, and foster a culture of compliance, ultimately safeguarding against legal liabilities and ensuring high standards of patient care.
