What are financial settlements or arrangements specifying rules of conduct to remedy fraud and abuse called?

Financial settlements or arrangements that specify rules of conduct to remedy fraud and abuse are called Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIAs). These agreements are often used in the healthcare industry to resolve issues related to fraudulent activities or compliance violations, particularly after an investigation or audit by governmental authorities such as the Office of Inspector General (OIG).

CIAs typically outline specific obligations that an organization must adhere to in order to prevent future violations, enhance compliance efforts, and ensure adherence to applicable laws and regulations. They may include requirements for compliance training, regular reporting, independent audits, and implementation of policies to foster a culture of integrity and accountability within the organization.

In contrast, other options do not accurately capture the specific purpose and application of financial settlements related to fraud and abuse. Immunity agreements typically focus on protecting individuals or entities from legal liability under certain circumstances rather than outlining conduct rules. Compliance contracts generally refer to broader agreements ensuring adherence to regulations but do not specifically denote arrangements for settling fraud and abuse issues. Settlement agreements may relate to various legal disputes but lack the focused regulatory compliance aspect of Corporate Integrity Agreements.
