monetary impact of the matter. The approach

of a review can include reviewing either all

claims affected or a statistically valid sample

of the claims.

Sample selection must include several

elements. These elements are drawn from the

Government sampling program known as

RAT–STATS.1 All of these elements are set

forth in more detail in the Provider SelfDisclosure Protocol, but the elements are (1)

Sampling unit, (2) sampling frame, (3) probe,

(4) sample size, (5) random numbers, (6)

sample design and (7) missing sample items.

All of these sampling items should be clearly

documented by the physician practice and

compiled in the format set forth in the

Provider Self-Disclosure Protocol. Use of the

format set forth in the Provider SelfDisclosure Protocol will help physician

practices to ensure that the elements of their

internal audits are in conformance with OIG

standards.
