Published November 4, 2026 · Coverage October 25–31, 2026, Pacific · Medium priority
OIG’s annual inflation update, marked October 28, 2026, lists a $646 cap for 2027, up from $623 for 2026. The cap is one condition of the patient-engagement safe harbor and applies to the annual aggregate retail value of tools and supports furnished to a patient by a value-based enterprise participant; other safe-harbor conditions also apply.
Suggested owner and action: Compliance and legal teams can review the annual aggregate retail value of applicable patient tools and supports against the 2027 amount and confirm all other safe-harbor conditions before relying on it.
