HHS’ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) plans to audit CMS’ management of the stimulus package’s incentive payment program.  The program will provide roughly $30 billion to hospitals and doctors through the year 2016. The OIG also called for CMS to upgrade its IT systems to comply with the ‘meaningful use’ rules, which are due out shortly.
