Mr. Moran has over 40 years government and private sector experience in health care compliance and regulatory oversight responsibility. He is a recognized expert in hospital compliance programs, and provides substantive hands-on expertise in risk assessment, risk remediation, risk auditing and risk reporting. He has consulted most recently on preparation for Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs), showing clients how to build RAC readiness into their ongoing revenue-cycle systems. He has successfully demonstrated to clients how proper preparation for the RACs also prepares them for other CMS Contractors (MACs, ZPICs, QIOs). He has been very effective in presenting to Boards of Directors on the strengths and weaknesses of compliance programs, alerting them to matters they need to know without overburdening them with administrative details.

PREVIOUS WORK
Mr. Moran previously served as the Regional Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in Chicago.  In that position, he supervised over 200 evaluations and inspections of health care programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, and other HHS funding. He would frequently accompany staff to local sites to better understand the operation at the client level. He also was a key player in the development of the OIG Work Plan, identifying those issues that were important to policy makers in the Administration and the Congress.

Mr. Moran was widely recognized for his policy insights on issues that cut across HHS programs. Clinical Research was one of those areas that involved multiple programs and sometimes seemingly conflicting policies. Mr. Moran was able to understand the different perspectives and suggest recommendations that would meld distinct policies into a Departmental policy. Part of this ability came from Mr. Moran’s one year fellowship at Princeton University where he studied health policy.
