which is responsible for surveillance of tricare fraud and abuse activities?
○ a. program integrity office
○ b. surveillance and utilization review system (surs)
○ c. tricare management activity office
○ d. office of inspector general (oig)

Explanation:

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is tasked with overseeing and ensuring the integrity of programs like TRICARE. It has the mandate to detect, investigate, and prevent fraud and abuse activities within such systems. The Program Integrity Office may be part of a broader structure but is not the overarching entity for surveillance in this context. The Surveillance and Utilization Review System (SURS) might be a tool or part of a process but not the main responsible body. The TRICARE Management Activity Office focuses more on the general management and operation of TRICARE rather than specifically on fraud and abuse surveillance.

Answer:

d. Office of Inspector General (OIG)
