​​​​​​​​​​​​​Office of Compliance​​​

The overall mission of Office of Compliance (OOC) is to strengthen DHCS' compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, in part by standardizing our approaches for tracking state and federal program requirements, as well as identify and correct deficiencies. 

OOC's main functional objectives are (1) to manage, coordinate and lead health care programs through processes related to the Department's federal initiatives and responsibilities, particularly in fulfilling requirements for amendments to the State Plan, for waiver authorities, as to federal grants, and related to regulatory and legislative developments; and (2) to manage, implement and lead the Department's internal audit functions, particularly as they relate to external audits, corrective action plans, internal control reviews, risk identification and control, and special and whistleblower/workplace integrity investigations.
