OIG Finds Tennessee Improperly Claimed Millions in Federal Medicaid Reimbursement for Targeted Case Management
The HHS Office of Inspector General determined that Tennessee claimed federal Medicaid reimbursement for targeted case management services that failed to meet federal and state requirements. The audit identified millions of dollars in improper payments during the review period. Tennessee must repay the improper federal share and strengthen its oversight of targeted case management claims to ensure compliance with Medicaid program requirements. The finding underscores OIG's ongoing scrutiny of state compliance with service-specific billing standards and federal claiming accuracy.
State Medicaid agencies must audit and strengthen controls over targeted case management billing to avoid federal disallowances and potential further OIG enforcement.
