If audited by an SIU, you could face delays in payment from the insurance
company, recoupment of previous payments, a corrective action plan, and
even removal from the insurance plan.
The most severe action an SIU can take against you is to report you to
law enforcement agencies like the Office of Inspector General (OIG) or
the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
Rarely, an SIU audit can lead to criminal charges. Frequently, it can jeopardize
your practice.
