On February 24, 2015, the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) released its "Health Reform Oversight Plan" for FY 2015, which describes the OIG's current and planned efforts to oversee the implementation and management of HHS programs under the ACA. The plan outlines the OIG's key tactical considerations (e.g., assessing relative risks; monitoring emerging issues and trends, conducting reviews, and addressing allegations of fraud); identifies primary focus areas, both in the health insurance Marketplaces and in other ACA-related HHS programs; and sets forth target timeframes for issuing reports on reviews related to the Marketplaces. While the report focuses on audits and evaluations, the OIG notes that it is prepared for and engaged in law enforcement operations related to ACA programs.
