The Self Disclosure Protocol (SDP) addresses liability under which law?

The Self Disclosure Protocol (SDP) addresses liability under which law?

• A. Civil Monetary Penalties Law
• B. Medicare False Claims Act
• C. Securities Act
• D. Federal Tax Code

Answer: (A)

The Self Disclosure Protocol is anchored in the Civil Monetary Penalties Law. This law authorizes civil penalties for certain improper actions involving federally funded health programs like Medicare. The SDP provides a voluntary route to disclose potential overpayments or improper billing and resolves those issues through settlements under the CMPL framework. It isn’t based on the Medicare False Claims Act (which governs FCA-style liability and treble damages) or on unrelated statutes like the Securities Act or the Federal Tax Code.
