2 Agenda CMS Audit Elements of the Audit Plan Best Practices Lessons Learned Providence Health Plans Providence Health Plans is a part of the integrated delivery system of the five state Providence Health & Services. Provide or administer health coverage to more than 500,000 members nationwide. Offer insurance for commercial groups, ASO, Medicare, Medicaid, individuals and State Sponsored Exchange products. Geography Oregon, Southwest Washington Partners Health Republic Insurance, Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield, Providence Health Network, Intel 5-star rating by Medicare for our HMO and HMO-POS plans in 2014 and 2015 Over 24,000 Medicare Advantage members, plan since
3 PHP External Audit/Payment Integrity Department/ SIU Medicare C and D Oversight The Medicare Parts C and D Oversight and Enforcement Group (MOEG), Part C and Part D program audits. Confirm sponsors deliver benefits in accordance with the terms of their contract and plan benefit package. Evaluate sponsors compliance program requirements, especially those that safeguard beneficiaries access to medically necessary services and prescription drugs. This ensures the integrity of the Part C and Part D programs and protects the health and safety of Medicare beneficiaries. 3
4 CMS Audit In May 2014, CMS conducted both remote and On- Site Audits of PHP s Medicare Advantage and Part D Compliance Program. As a result of the audit, PHP s Medicare Compliance Department made a number of learnings. This presentation has been prepared in an effort to assist other SIUs with meeting CMS compliance requirements in the event that CMS Audits the Auditors CMS Audit All organizations offering a Medicare Advantage (Part C) and/or Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D) must have an effective compliance program CMS provides copious guidance on the content and requirements of compliance programs CMS guidance concerning the FWA function has been available since 2006 CMS draft of updated guidance released Feb 2012 New CMS Medicare Advantage and Part D Fraud Handbook added March
5 Audit Timeline Start Notice/Engage ment Letter The Auditor-in- Charge (AIC) contacts the SO (sponsor s) compliance officer via phone and then sends an audit engagement letter Follow-Up Call The AIC conducts a follow-up call with the SO and the audit team 1-2 days after the date of the engagement letter Pre-Audit Issue Summary and Associated BIAs Submitted to CMS from the SO Within 5 business Universe Request Conference Calls Prior to upload of the universe Universe Submission to CMS from the SO Within 15 business days of receiving the engagement letter Audit Timeline Cont. Universe Validation Webinar After the universes have been uploaded by the SO, Send SO Audit Schedule CMS will send the SO a schedule of audit activities for the week of the webinar and onsite audit Draft Audit Report Preparation and Issuance to SO At the conclusion of the audit, CMS prepares and issues a draft audit report (goal is within 60 days of the conclusion of the audit). The SO has 10 business days to respond to the report with comments to CMS. Issuing the Final Audit report and Corrective Action Requirement(s) CMS issues the final report (the goal is within 10 days from receiving the SO comments). CMS provides the SO with 7 days to submit a corrective action plan for correcting any deficiencies 5
6 How Does It Start? An engagement letter will be sent 6 weeks prior to the audit start date, notifying you of the date the audit will begin, the scope of the audit, the contact information for the MOEG Auditor-In- Charge, information being requested from the sponsor (e.g., universes). Sponsors will be expected to submit universes 3 weeks prior to the start date of the audit. What About ? starts a new audit cycle. All sponsors, even those audited in the previous cycle ( ), will be considered for audit selection. For 2014 audits, CMS audited plans that provide 96% of Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug enrollees services, began auditing with outcome-based audit protocols. They will continue to utilize a risk-based approach to selecting sponsors for audit (both high and low risk), while also taking into account other key factors like: the sponsor has never previously been audited; the sponsor is new to the program (i.e., is in their first 2 years of operation and has no previous affiliation with the Medicare program); or the sponsor represents a large percentage of MA or Part D enrollment. 6
7 BTW: Did You Know, You Should Already Know This! Many were not audited in this first cycle, the publishing of audit related performance data and information of external websites (e.g., best practices and common findings memos, audit protocols, audit scores, etc.) should have improved the level of compliance of all sponsors throughout the industry. Universe Selection Sponsors are expected to provide accurate and timely universe submissions. In 2016, sponsors will have a maximum of 3 attempts to provide each universe requested: If the sponsor fails to provide accurate and timely universe submissions twice, CMS will document this as an observation in the plan s program audit report. After the third failed attempt the sponsor will be cited Immediate Corrective Action Required (ICARs) for every condition that cannot be tested due to the inaccurate universe (i.e., if there are 11 audit conditions that could have been tested in a given universe, we will automatically cite 11 ICARs, one for each possible condition that could have been tested). 7
8 Self Disclosed vs. Self Identified A disclosed issue reported to CMS prior to the date of the audit start notice. A self-identified discovered by the sponsor but notification was not made to CMS until after the date of the audit start notice. Sponsors asked to provide a list of all previously disclosed and selfidentified issues of non-compliance, from January 1, 2016 through the date of the audit start notice. Sponsors must provide a description of each issue as well as the remediation status using the Pre-Audit Issue Summary template. Each disclosed and self-identified issue require a Beneficiary Impact Analysis (BIA). The BIA should include every impacted beneficiary across all of the sponsor s contracts for the time period January 1, 2016 through the date of the audit start notice. Both the issue summary and the associated BIA(s) are due within 5 business days after receipt of the engagement letter. FWAM Did the sponsor establish, maintain and implement effective compliance and FWA training? CMS will test each of the 6 tracers by reviewing the data and documentation provided by the sponsor while onsite. CMS will also conduct interviews while onsite to provide additional information on the sponsor s compliance program. If CMS requirements are not met, a condition (finding) will be documented. If CMS requirements are met, no conditions (findings) are documented. 8
9 Tracer Documentation CMS will review all tracer documentation to determine that the compliance program elements were effectively met. An explanation/ evidence risk assessment indicating how issues are identified. Copies of monitoring reports showing the outcomes of monitoring Copies of trending reports showing the trend of the issue (i.e., the issue is being or has been remediated over time or the issue is still occurring). Copies of audit reports showing the results of any audits conducted for the identified issue. Evidence/ explanation of any follow up done For employees involved in the tracers, evidence that the employees were checked against the OIG/GSA exclusion lists. For FDRs, evidence that the FDRs were checked against the OIG/GSA exclusion lists. Fraud Waste and Abuse Monitoring (FWAM) Include: all monitoring activities and investigations performed to identify and address potential or suspected FWA at both the sponsor and FDR levels Monitoring: predictive analytics, data mining, outlier analysis, comparison of claim information against other data, prescribing and dispensing practices of providers, fraudulent activities of plan members, aberrant pharmacy billing, medical claims, PLATO, Medicare waste by identifying overpayments, etc Investigations: employee misconduct, fraudulent provider or pharmacy claims, fraudulent vendor (FDR) invoices, misuse of Medicare beneficiary information, overpayments, complaints or tips received through hotlines, referrals, internal operational areas, FDRs/contractors, fraud alerts from CMS, providers, members, MEDIC, law enforcement, etc. Exclude: non-medicare Parts C and/or D FWA monitoring, investigations or actions (e.g., commercial, Medicaid) 9

26 Lessons Learned It s not fun to hear your words come back to you from a CMS auditor Case documentation must be easy for someone who doesn t work in your department to understand There is some auditor interpretation in much of what we do, and them too One mistake can and does hurt you Lessons Learned FDR education and fraud monitoring language is intermingled with SIU education and fraud efforts. Plan wide risk assessment or SIU specific risk assessment Medicare wants their own..everything! Regularly monitor your CMS resources (hint - see next slide) 26
