An Ophthalmology Clinic in California: Audit of Medicare Payments for Eye Injections of Eylea and Lucentis
Prior OIG work found that Medicare inappropriately paid for services that were billed as being distinct or significant and separately identifiable from other services provided on the same day. Our analysis showed that in 2018, an ophthalmology clinic in California (the Clinic) frequently billed for other services as being unrelated to, distinct from, or significant and separately identifiable from intravitreal (inside the eye) injections of the drugs Eylea and Lucentis.Our objective was to determine whether the Clinic complied with Medicare requirements when billing for intravitreal injections of Eylea and Lucentis and for other services provided on the same day as the injections.
We are proud to present the vision of the AOC OIG for the next five years that includes goals to continue efficiency and effectiveness of our internal processes and strengthens our statutory mission of independent oversight of the AOC’s programs and operations.

From March through September 2020, the Postal Service separated pandemic-related expenses from daily operating expenses to determine the financial impact. These pandemic-related expenses included supplies, services, transportation expenses, and sick and annual leave expenses, among others. Some expenses, such as supplies and services, were directly tracked while others, like transportation expenses, were estimated. Our objective was to assess the impact of the pandemic on Postal Service finances.
