Program integrity depends on consistent incentives for better patient outcomes within a context that avoids over-or-underutilization of services. As such, it is important that we familiarize ourselves with program integrity tools and techniques that can help The Centers' physicians, managers and staff recognize, report and prevent fraud, waste and abuse.
