Contracted Services – Incentive to Provide Little Service for Set Rate
Plans not Paying Providers’ Claims
Underutilization - Non-Assignment of Recipients Timely

Identification of the major players (i.e., MCOs with multi-state engagements)
Compilation of state contacts of the organizations/bureaus/etc., directly responsible for managing the MCO relationships
Development of a “clearinghouse” of various actions taken including audits, investigations, and prosecutions
? To develop a list of potential audits and data matches used by other states to address overpayments in the managed care area
? To develop a model for a Compliance Audit Plan (CAP) which incorporates experiences and best practices from the various states who have been engaged in this type of activity
