What is Medicaid Compliance? For Medicaid providers, compliance means to follow the laws, regulations and rules governing the Medicaid program. Since Medicaid is a joint state and federal program, Medicaid service providers must follow both state and federal laws and regulations.
16
What You Should Know Billing providers must meet Medicaid qualifications Services must be medically-necessary and authorized on the student’s IEP/IFSP Service documentation (Medicaid Progress Note) must include the relationship of the service provided to the IEP goals Face-to-Face services are reimbursable; consult services are critical to student success, but not billable.
17
Best Practices Review billing requirements in the provider-specific Tip Sheet Document service immediately after delivering service
18
Audits and Inspections If asked, school districts must supply records to state and federal personnel for audits and reviews, and will usually have 30 calendar days to do so. Medicaid encourages that providers maintain their records in an electronic format to ensure that such records are readily accessible. If requested, the district must allow state and federal personnel on site for inspections.

‘Audit Day’ Humor Now remember. When we get in there, let me do all the talking.
