While identified under the Compliance Assistance category, this type of written and verbal guidance for the public and regulated industry requires formalized enforcement policy-making that may on occasion require regulatory research and analysis, internal reviews, and/or consultations with the Attorney General's Office. Enforcement staff also assists OI&A staff by reviewing advisory opinions and regulatory assistance correspondence issued through the OI&A program.

Advisory Opinions. Some commenters requested that OIG develop an advisory opinion process for individuals and entities to obtain advisory opinions on whether specified conduct constitutes information blocking for which OIG may impose a CMP. Pursuant to section 1128D(b) of the SSA, HHS, through OIG, publishes advisory opinions regarding the application of the Federal anti-kickback statute and the associated safe harbor provisions, as well as specified administrative sanction authorities, to proposed or existing arrangements. Section 1128D(b) specifies the matters subject to advisory opinions under that authority. The CMP for information blocking is not one of the administrative sanction authorities specified by section 1128D(b) of the SSA. Furthermore, the Cures Act did not establish an advisory opinion process with regard to the application of OIG’s information blocking-related administrative enforcement authorities. At present, OIG has no plans to develop and establish an advisory opinion process regarding the application of the CMP for information blocking. The Justification of Estimates to the Appropriations Committee for the President’s fiscal year (FY) 2024 budget included a legislative proposal to provide HHS the authority to issue advisory opinions on information blocking practices.
