Session:
Under OIG Scrutiny: Translating 2025 Enforcement Trends Into Actionable Strategies for Laboratory Compliance, Test Utilization Optimization, and Enterprise-Wide Risk Mitigation in 2026
The Office of Inspector General’s anticipated updates to the General Compliance Program Guidance (iCPG) represent the most consequential shift in laboratory compliance expectations in more than 25 years. Stewardship, medical necessity, and utilization oversight are no longer optional; they are enforceable regulatory requirements.
At Executive War College 2026, healthcare regulatory attorney Danielle Tangorre of Robinson & Cole LLP and laboratory compliance expert Andrew Fletcher, CEO and Founder of Eutilogic Consulting, will translate recent OIG enforcement trends and the anticipated iCPG revisions into practical strategies laboratories must adopt in 2026.
“The anticipated updates heighten the compliance landscape and bring into focus the imperative for laboratories to integrate stewardship into medical necessity reviews, utilization monitoring, and oversight of standing orders,” explains Andrew. From a legal and enforcement perspective, Danielle adds that “proactively integrating best practices for laboratory management significantly reduces exposure to compliance penalties and enforcement risk.”
As OIG scrutiny increasingly targets unmanaged utilization growth, billing accuracy, and physician ordering behavior, laboratories must demonstrate active oversight, data-driven monitoring, and documented corrective action.
The session provides a clear roadmap for aligning laboratory stewardship with enterprise compliance and risk management before enforcement action forces the issue.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Translate the anticipated OIG iCPG updates into actionable compliance and stewardship strategies.
- Apply data-driven oversight to manage utilization, medical necessity, and billing risk.
- Implement effective governance over order sets, standing orders, reflex testing, and provider behavior.
From emerging leaders to seasoned executives, this session delivers a clear, practical framework for understanding compliance risk and preparing for heightened OIG enforcement in 2026.
