title: Is new OIG physician fraud alert precursor to enforcement action?
abstract: A recent fraud alert published by the OIG listing "suspect hospital incentive arrangements" in physician recruitment practices is compelling hospital executives to review their recruitment strategies. "What is new about this fraud alert," says an attorney, "is that the OIG has put them into one document as an indication of its enforcement priorities."
