**Video Post** The OIG is Watching: Why your telehealth or virtual care company should be focused on compliance right now.

 

We’ve hit the record button during our weekly Partner meeting to talk about the increased scrutiny of telemedicine and virtual care services by the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG), as reflected in the latest OIG Work Plan, and ongoing audits and evaluations. 

This conversation is especially relevant for those of you in the telehealth/digital health space, whether you’re a telehealth provider, or RPM/tech platform company who works with telehealth providers.
