Compliance Program Certification

All New York State Medicaid providers who are required to have a compliance program under

New York State Social Services Law Section 363-d must certify that their compliance programs

are effective. The certification must be completed during the month of December each

year. The Social Services Law certification is an online certification that can be accessed on the

Office of Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) website at www.omig.ny.gov by selecting the

Compliance tab, then the Certification sub-tab and looking for the form under the heading NYS

Mandatory Provider Compliance Programs.

Additionally, if you are a NYS Medicaid provider subject to the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of

2005 (DRA), you must provide a certification that you are meeting the DRA’s requirements. The

certification must be completed each year prior to Jan. 1. The DRA certification is an online

certification that can be accessed on OMIG’s website at www.omig.ny.gov by selecting the

Compliance tab, then the Certification sub-tab and looking for the form under the heading

Federal Deficit Reduction Act.

Frequently asked questions and directions are located on the OMIG site. After submitting the

necessary certification(s), you will receive a confirmation email. If you have questions about

either certification, send an email to compliance@omig.ny.gov.
