Summary
Maryland Medicaid will now charge providers additional fees (7.9% to 24%) to recover overpayments found during audits. Providers can avoid these recovery fees by conducting self-audits and voluntarily reporting overpayments before official audits occur.
Action Required
Immediately: Establish regular self-audit procedures to identify and voluntarily report any Medicaid overpayments before official audits. Contact Stephanie Oliver at 410-767-1722 for IHAS audits or Marlene Bush at 410-767-7841 for HMS/CDR audits with questions. Submit self-identified overpayments through current adjustment process to avoid 7.9%-24% recovery fees.
