Happy New Year!
I’m not going to break any news here, but compliance professionals are going to have a lot of work to do in 2021. With implementation of the information-blocking rules,[1] Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services event notification requirements,[2] preparing for Provider Relief Fund audits, price transparency rules,[3] review of expanded services such as telehealth, and transitioning staff back to a safe workplace, compliance professionals will have a lot of new work on their desk. It all may seem a bit overwhelming, but take a deep breath, remember the fundamentals, and think of all the opportunities to advance your compliance program.
