In which month does the OIG release its work plan annually?

January
April
October
December

The correct answer is: October

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) releases its work plan every October, providing insight into the objectives and procedures it intends to focus on in the forthcoming year. This timing allows stakeholders, including healthcare providers and organizations, to align their compliance strategies with the OIG's priorities and potential areas of review. The work plan outlines specific audits, evaluations, and other initiatives that the OIG will undertake, ensuring transparency and facilitating the understanding of risk areas in healthcare services. By releasing this information in October, the OIG enables organizations to prepare for these examinations effectively and adjust their practices accordingly. The other months do not correspond to the release of the OIG work plan, making October the definitive choice for this annual update.
