Question

question 8 of 10

select the correct answer.

health care providers use the self-referral disclosure protocol (srdp) to report all suspected fraud & abuse

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Analyze the scope of the Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol (SRDP)

The Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol (SRDP) is specifically designed for healthcare providers to self-disclose actual or potential violations of the physician self-referral statute (the Stark Law). It is not a general mechanism to report "all suspected fraud & abuse."

Identify the correct reporting channels for general fraud and abuse

General Medicare fraud and abuse are reported through other channels, such as the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Hotline, rather than the SRDP. Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer:

• A. True
• B. False (Correct answer)
