OIG Issues Advisory Opinion on Contributions to Charitable Foundations for Therapy Services

On September 11, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (the OIG) issued a favorable advisory opinion (AO 25-10 or the Opinion) regarding an arrangement between a healthcare services company (the Company) and a charitable foundation (the Foundation), whereby the Company makes financial contributions to the Foundation, which then provides grants to families of children receiving a particular type of therapy (the Arrangement). Pursuant to AO 25-10, the OIG will not impose sanctions with respect to the Arrangement, despite the Arrangement potentially generating prohibited remuneration under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (the AKS) and implicating the civil monetary penalty provision prohibiting inducements to beneficiaries (the Beneficiary Inducements CMP).

Law Glossary

What Is a Qualified Retirement Plan?

A qualified retirement plan is a retirement plan established by an employer that is designed to provide retirement income to designated employees and their beneficiaries, which meets certain IRS Code requirements in terms of both form and operation. Common plan types are 401(k) plans, pension plans, and profit-sharing plans. A qualified retirement plan may allow for both employer and employee contributions. Employers must follow procedures to ensure participants and beneficiaries are able to receive their benefits. They must also stay apprised of changes in retirement plan laws and regulations. Qualified retirement plans provide certain tax advantages to employers and tax deferral advantages to employees who are contributing. Taxes on earnings from the contributions are also deferred until the employee withdraws them from the plan....Read more

What Is ERISA?

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is a federal law from 1974 that governs how employers provide benefit plans to employees. ERISA is administered in part by the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Labor. The law establishes requirements and guidelines for employers and benefit plan managers, trustees and certain other service providers. ERISA ensures minimum standards are set for the majority of private industry pension and health plans, as well as other benefit plans such as life insurance. Under ERISA, employees must be notified of benefit plan terms, including funding, coverage, and costs. Employees are also offered protections against fiduciary wrongdoing. Plan participants or the DOL may be able to sue plan fiduciaries if plans are mismanaged or if plan fiduciaries engage in conduct prohibited under ERISA, and plan participants may sue for unpaid benefits.   ...Read more
