Drug Diagnosis Code Data Sought by HHS OIG May Cue Enforcement
July 12, 2021
摘要
Leadership from HHS-OIG recently advocated for new mandates that physicians include a diagnosis code with each prescription and that claims data capture this information. This followed on the heels of a Congressional Research Service report suggesting that Congress should pass legislation requiring healthcare providers to include diagnostic information in prescriptions. As Sidley lawyers Jaime L.M. Jones, Brenna E. Jenny, and Matt Bergs discuss, HHS-OIG may see diagnosis code data as a tool to engage in nuanced investigations into pharmaceutical companies for off-label promotion of prescription drugs, leveraging law enforcement’s increasingly sophisticated capacity to use data analytics to identify targets for investigation.
