Board adopts OMIG-required corporate compliance training; officials describe Medicaid billing process
Summary
The board approved corporate compliance training April 21; Deputy Director Lisa Perfetti outlined OMIG requirements, the department's audit processes, use of exclusion lists and KChecks, and said PreK billing is a passthrough arrangement (state 60% / county 40%).
The Cortland County Board of Health unanimously approved corporate compliance training on April 21 after a presentation by Deputy Public Health Director Lisa Perfetti on Office of Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) requirements.
Perfetti summarized the department's compliance program, saying OMIG requires Medicaid providers to develop compliance programs aimed at detecting fraud, waste and abuse, and that the health department has adapted its audit forms to meet OMIG expectations. She described billing verification steps, including checking OMIG exclusion lists and using KChecks for provider verification.
Minutes state that PreK services are billed by the county as a financial passthrough, with the state paying 60% of costs and the county covering 40%. The minutes also identify Perfetti as the designated compliance officer and note the board's recorded approval (mover: Dr. Erica Skipton; seconder: Dr. Matthew Noble).
