Text

The OIG may perform a random prepayment review of claims submitted by Medicaid providers for reimbursement to determine whether the claim involves fraud, waste, or abuse. Suspect claims identified through this process may result in:

(1) imposition of a recoupment of overpayments and/or other pertinent administrative sanctions or actions;

(2) initiation of a full fraud, waste, or abuse investigation;

(3) referral for criminal or civil investigation and prosecution;

(4) withholding payment of these claims for not more than five working days without notice to the provider for which claims were submitted.
