00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.901
This Livewire page argues that federal benefit-integrity enforcement should also examine Connecticut Medicaid.

00:00:05.901 --> 00:00:09.835
Treat every number and conclusion as a claim to verify, not an audit or finding.

00:00:09.835 --> 00:00:12.355
Build seven records: the dated audit source; exact

00:00:12.355 --> 00:00:15.551
eligibility category; payment amount and period; beneficiary

00:00:15.551 --> 00:00:18.502
or provider status; correction or recovery action; waiver

00:00:18.502 --> 00:00:21.514
waitlist source and method; and the agency’s final response.

00:00:21.514 --> 00:00:24.157
A payment to an ineligible or deceased person may be

00:00:24.157 --> 00:00:26.801
improper, but it does not automatically prove fraud,

00:00:26.801 --> 00:00:29.320
knowledge, diversion, or a link to an HCBS waitlist.

00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.148
A long wait can raise access and integration questions;

00:00:32.148 --> 00:00:34.914
it does not by itself establish unlawful segregation.

00:00:34.914 --> 00:00:38.479
Match each allegation to current CMS, OIG, state-audit, and case records.
