CMS has developed compliance program guidance for Medicare fee-for-service Contractors. This compliance program guidance is intended to assist Medicare fee-for-service Contractors in developing and implementing effective compliance programs that promote adherence to, and allow for, the efficient monitoring of compliance with all applicable statutory, regulatory and Medicare program requirements. CMS, in its ongoing effort to work collaboratively with the Medicare fee-for-service Contractors, has developed these compliance guidelines as a demonstration of CMS’ commitment to compliance.

This document offers critical guidance for those who are attempting to develop and implement an effective compliance program, as well as a benchmark for those who already have a compliance program in place but wish to improve its effectiveness.
