The Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services aims to protect the integrity of federal healthcare programs, in addition to the health of beneficiaries.
“In other words,” said HHS-OIG’s Andrew VanLandingham in a recent interview with Healthcare IT News, “our job isn’t to run the programs, but to make sure they work well for all Americans.”
VanLandingham, who is senior counselor, Medicaid Policy/Acting Health IT at the agency, will be presenting at HIMSS21 this summer, HHS-OIG colleague, Assistant Inspector General for Legal Affairs Lisa Re.
During that session, Re and VanLandingham will outline HHS-OIG’s vision and values, as well as offering insight into future enforcement actions.
