OMIG Shares Draft Home Health and Personal Care Audit Protocols

ABSTRACT: OMIG shares draft home health and personal care audit protocols.

Medicaid Inspector General James Sheehan recently indicated that the Office of Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) expects to recover at least $260 million this year in Medicaid fraud.  In these difficult budget times, there is enormous pressure to save Medicaid dollars and make recoveries for fraudulent or inappropriate billing.

To help providers better understand the audit process, the OMIG shared information about draft Home Care Audit Protocols that guide audits of home care agencies currently underway. Please see the attached Power Point at the bottom of the screen to access this information.

NYAHSA encourages home care agencies to contact us regarding any OMIG audit concerns or experiences. If you have any questions about the audit process or the contents of the PowerPoint, you may contact me at ahill@nyahsa.org or 518-449-2707, ext. 141.
