HHS OIG Has A New Cyber Face

Today, the U.S. Office of Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched its new government delivery services, showing off its new website.

At the touch of your phone, you can follow all the fun and exciting adventures of the OIG on twitter:  http://www.twitter.com/OIGatHHS.  Even though there is no follow button, I am sure this will be corrected shortly.


Daniel Levinson looks like he is taking on a new role of leadership, and he should because the OIG has been muddling though its culture of rusty crusty, status quo-style of oversight of its federally funded child welfare organizations.....oops, I mean the States.

(Hey Danny, pimp pic!)

This is the first time, besides what I have compiled and presented, that the public has any idea as to what the functions of the OIG are.



The sight is extremely easy to navigate with one-stop-shop information sections for each division of the OIG.

• Reports and Publications:  
• Fraud
• Compliance
• Recovery Act Oversight
• Exclusions
• Newsroom

It is even easier than ever to report fraud... in everything except child welfare programming.

What was not included with the new sight was any emphasis or acknowledgement of enforcement activities in dealing with child welfare.  

Even though there was significant improvement in presenting the relationship between State Medicaid Fraud Control Units and the OIG, the notion of a state pursuing itself for child welfare fraud still seems a foreign concept.

The new site can selectively omit anything dealing in the realms of Medicaid fraud in child welfare because I am the only one addressing the epidemic.
