“Minnesota to freeze new Medicaid provider enrollments in 13 high-risk categories,” WDIO
“The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services directed Minnesota to take this step as part of a fraud-fighting effort. The department had already announced two-year licensing freezes on home and community-based services and adult day programs under the Governor’s Executive Order 25-10. …The 13 high-risk categories include:
- Adult companion services
- Adult day services
- Adult rehabilitative mental health services
- Assertive community treatment
- Community first services and supports
- Early intensive developmental and behavioral intervention
- Individualized home supports
- Integrated community supports
- Intensive residential treatment services
- Night supervision services
- Nonemergency medical transportation services
- Peer recovery support services and recuperative care”
LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:
It certainly looks like home and community based long-term care is in the CMS’s cross hairs. Would fraud be so rampant if most of the money weren’t coming from government?
