Late last week, the committee learned that the federal government is currently auditing Minnesota Medicaid autism therapy services. There is a possibility that this investigation could be broadened to include concerns highlighted in a letter from Chair Robbins.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General (OIG) responded, stating, “OIG uses a dynamic and continuous work planning process to anticipate and respond to existing and emerging issues with the resources available. As we plan future Medicaid work, we will consider the serious issues raised in your letter, including the issue of proper internal controls within the Minnesota Medicaid program.”
The OIG also requested that the committee provide any further information that might support their investigation.
Chair Robbins released a statement following this development.
