                     Safe Harbor for Federally Qualified Health Centers Arrangements-Extension OMB No. 0990-0322—Office of Inspector General. *Abstract:*
                     The Office of the Inspector General (OIG), Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting a 3-year extension of clearance for the data collection under the anti-kickback statute, as described below. In order for an arrangement between a health center and a donor individual or entity to enjoy safe harbor protection, the arrangement (1) Must be set out in writing (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(A)); (2) the written agreement must be signed by the parties (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(B)); (3) the written agreement must cover, and specify the amount of, all good, items, services, donations, or loans provided by the individual or entity to the health center (§ 1001.952(w)(1)(i)(C)); (4) the health center must document its basis for its reasonable expectation that the arrangement will benefit a medically underserved population (§ 1001.952(w)(3)); and (5) the health center, at reasonable intervals, must reevaluate the arrangement to ensure that it is expected to continue to benefit a medically underserved population, and must document the re-evaluation contemporaneously (§ 1001.952(w)(4)). OIG may request to see documentation kept pursuant to the safe harbor in order to determine compliance with the terms of the safe harbor and the fraud and abuse laws. Compliance with the safe harbor is voluntary, and no party is ever required to comply with the safe harbor. The safe harbor does not entail a routine and continuous affirmative collection of data form the regulated community. However, health centers that choose to avail themselves of the safe harbor must have initial documentation and a re-evaluation of the arrangement at least annually. The respondents are businesses and/or other private sector for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.
