120eligible to provide behavior analysis services ; and , if not, wh at

140PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

142Petitioner , Agency for Health Care Administration ( " AHCA " ) ,

151conducted a Medicaid audit of Respondent, Advanced Behavioral

159Association , LLC ( " ABA " or "Respondent" ), a Medicaid provider.

169The Medicaid audit reviewed Respondent ' s dates of service from

180November 1, 2017, through July 31, 2018. On or about April 30,

1922019, AHCA issued a Final Audit Report ( " FAR " ) dated April 18,

2052019, which advised Respondent it had been ov erpaid by the amount

217of $852,043.63 for paid claims that, in whole or in part, the

230Medicaid program did not cover.

235AHCA initiated this action to recover the amount of the

245overpayment. AHCA also sought to sanction Respondent in the form

255of an administrativ e fine, as well as recover investigative costs

266for conducting the Medicaid audit.

271Respondent filed a p etition for a f ormal a dministrative

282h earing to dispute the factual allegations of the audit and to

294request a formal hearing to address the allegations. On June 13,

3052019, the case was then referred to DOAH. The hearing was

316continued on July 18, 2019, and ultimately rescheduled to

325October 7 through 9, 2019. The hearing was held on October 7,

3372019.

338Following the issuance of the FAR, AHCA reduced the

347overpa yment amount to $207,082.92 and alleged sanctions and costs

358in the amount of $2,500.00.

364On October 2, 2019, the parties stipulated to facts in the

375Joint Pre - hearing Stipulation, and the relevant facts stipulated

385therein are accepted and made part of the Fi ndings of Fact below.

398At hearing, Petitioner presented the testimony of two

406witnesses: Robi Olmstea d , AHCA a dministrator; and Jennifer

415Ellingsen, Medicaid health program analyst. Petitioner ' s

423Exhibits 1 through 27 were admitted into evidence. Respondent

432testified on her own behalf. Respondent ' s Exhibits A through O

444were admitted into evidence.

448The proceedings of the hearing were recorded and

456transcribed. A one - volume Transcript of the hearing was filed at

468DOAH on October 22, 2019. Both parties timely filed proposed

478recommended orders which were duly considered in the preparation

487of this Recommended Order.

491Unless otherwise indicated, all statutory references are to

499the codification in effect at the time of the alleged

509overpayment.

510FINDING S OF FACT

5141. A HCA is designated as the single state agency authorized

525to make payments for medical assistance and related services

534under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, otherwise known as

545the Medicaid program. See § 409.902(1), Fla. Stat.

5532. As part of its duti es, AHCA oversees and administers the

565Florida Medicaid Program and attempts to recover Medicaid

573overpayments from Medicaid providers.

5773. At all times material to this case, ABA was licensed

588to provide healthcare services to Medicaid recipients under

596a con tract with AHCA as a Medicaid provider. As provider

607number 019514000, ABA participated in the Medicaid program from

616November 1, 2017, through July 31, 2018 ( " audit period " ).

6274. AHCA ' s Bureau of Medicaid Program Integrity ( " MPI " ) is

640the unit within AHCA t hat oversees the activities of Florida

651Medicaid providers and recipients. MPI ensures that providers

659abide by Medicaid laws, policies, and rules. MPI is responsible

669for conducting audits, investigations, and reviews to determine

677possible fraud, abuse, ov erpayment, or neglect in the Medicaid

687program. See § 409.913, Fla. Stat.

6935. ABA signed a provider agreement and agreed to abide by

704the handbook and policies. As a Medicaid provider, ABA was

714subject to the enacted federal and state statutes, regulations,

723rules, policy guidelines, and Medicaid handbooks incorporated by

731reference into the rule, which were in effect during the audit

742period.

7436. Behavior analysis is a treatment that improves the lives

753of those individuals with mental health conditions such as

762developmental and intellectual disabilities. Up until

768approximately 2014, behavior analysis services had been covered

776under the developmental disabilities waiver program.

7827. In October 2017, the Florida Medicaid Behavior Analysis

791Services Coverage Pol icy ( " Handbook " ) was promulgated, which

801placed the services under the state plan, expanded the

810population, and detailed the eligibility categories and criteria

818to provide behavior analysis services.

8238. This case arose when MPI decided to audit all the

834Med icaid behavior analysis service providers. AHCA reviewed the

843employee qualifications for every enrolled behavior analysis

850provider. After the review, approximately 600 audit cases were

859opened.

860The Preliminary Audit and Final Audit

8669. ABA was one of the providers MPI reviewed. On

876December 6, 2017, MPI issued ABA a request for records seeking

887supporting documentation about the qualifications of employees

894providing behavior analysis services.

89810. ABA submitted the first set of employees ' records in

909resp onse to AHCA ' s request the same month.

91911. Karen Kinzer ( " Kinzer " ), investigative analyst, was

928assigned to oversee and conduct ABA ' s employee eligibility

938determination audit. On or about September 14, 2018, Kinzer

947reviewed the billing logs and requested additional employee

955records, which ABA then submitted.

96012. Kinzer reviewed each ABA employee and their behavior

969assistant qualifications based on the requirements of the

977Handbook.

97813. Rules applicable to the claims reviewed in this case

988are enumerated in the Handbook and include the following

997requirements in policy 3.2:

1001Behavior assistants working under the

1006supervision of a lead analyst and who meet

1014one of the following:

1018- Have a bachelor ' s degree from an accredited

1028university or college in a related hu man

1036services field; are employed by or under

1043contract with a group, billing provider, or

1050agency that provides Behavior Analysis; and,

1056agree to become a Registered Behavior

1062Technician credentialed by the Behavior

1067Analyst Certification Board by January 1,

107320 19.

1075- Are 18 years or older with a high school

1085diploma or equivalent; have at least two

1092years of experience providing direct services

1098to recipients with mental health disorder,

1104developmental or intellectual disabilities;

1108and, complete 20 hours of documente d in -

1117service trainings in the treatment of mental

1124health, developmental or intellectual

1128disabilities, recipient rights, crisis

1132management strategies and confidentiality.

113614. Kinzer determined that overpayments were made to ABA

1145because numerous behavior a nalysis services had been performed by

1155ineligible employees, which were not covered by Medicaid.

116315. Kinzer prepared the Preliminary Audit Report ( " PAR " )

1173after reviewing ABA ' s employee records and conducting an audit of

1185paid Medicaid claims for behavior analysis services to Medicaid

1194recipients.

119516. MPI issued the PAR dated November 26, 2018. The report

1206detailed the Medicaid policy violations, overpayment amounts, and

1214provided ABA the opportunity to submit additional documentation

1222for consideration. Th e overpayment amount totaled $1,215,281.09 ,

1232and the report also notified ABA that a n FAR would be issued

1245identifying the amount of overpayment due.

125117. Each time ABA supplied additional records, MPI reviewed

1260the supporting documentation provided from the employment files

1268to evaluate if the employees met the minimum qualifications to

1278perform behavior analysis services pursuant to policy 3.2.

128618. On February 11, 2019, MPI issued an Amended Preliminary

1296Audit Report ( " APAR " ) that reduced ABA ' s overpayment amo unt

1309to $977,539.52. Attached to the APAR was a list of specific

1321employees who were ineligible to perform behavioral analysis

1329services. The list also detailed how much billing was credited

1339to each of the ineligible employees. The APAR allowed ABA the

1350opp ortunity to submit additional documentation for consideration.

135819. On April 18, 2019, AHCA concluded the audit and issued

1369a n FAR on or about April 30, 2019, alleging that Respondent was

1382overpaid $852,043.63 for behavior analysis services that were not

1392co vered by Medicaid. The overpayment was calculated based on the

1403determination that 20 ABA employees were ineligible according to

1412policy 3.2 of the Handbook.

141720. The FAR included employee overpayment and claim reports

1426as well as claim bills by ABA for the 20 ineligible employees.

1438Also listed was the total amount for the audit period.

144821. AHCA informed ABA by the FAR that it was seeking to

1460impose a fine of $172,908.73 and costs in the amount of $461.50

1473for a total amount of $1,025,413.86. An additiona l fine of

1486$2,500.00 as a sanction was also included.

149422. Additionally, the FAR detailed ABA ' s violations in

1504Finding 1, which stated , in pertinent part:

1511The Florida Medicaid Provider General

1516Handbook, page 1 - 2, states that only health

1525care providers that meet the conditions of

1532participation and eligibility requirements

1536and are enrolled in Medicaid Behavior

1542Analysis Services Coverage Policy, Rule 59G -

15494.125, F.A.C., Section 3.0, states that

1555providers must meet the qualifications

1560specified in this policy in o rder to be

1569reimbursed for Florida Medicaid BA [behavior

1575analysis] services. Payments for Florida

1580Medicaid Behavior Analysis Services rendered

1585by an individual determined not to meet the

1593qualifications or for whom documentation was

1599insufficient to determin e eligibility are

1605considered an overpayment.

160823. After the April 18, 2019, FAR was issued , 15 of ABA's

1620employees obtained their registered behavior technician ("RBT")

1629certifications, which made them eligible under policy 3.2. AHCA

1638reduced the number of ineligible ABA employees from 20 . After

1649the reduction , MPI concluded that five ABA employees still did

1659not meet the minimum legal requirements to perform behavior

1668assistant services during the audit period under policy 3.2.

1677Employee No. 1

16802 4 . MPI discove red ABA violated policy by billing Medicaid

1692$3,803.28 for behavior analysis services conducted by Erica del

1702Sodorro Lebron Diaz ( " Lebron Diaz " ). Lebron Diaz ' s computer

1714engineering degree failed to be in the required human services

1724field. Additionally, sh e neither had a n RBT certificate nor had

1736two years ' experience providing direct services to recipients

1745with mental health disorders, developmental or intellectual

1752disabilities ( " target population " ). Instead, Lebron Diaz only

1774aide that could be verified.

1779Employee No. 2

17822 5 . MPI discovered ABA violated policy by billing Medicaid

1793$44,737.30 for behavior analysis services conducted by Herman

1802Chavez ( " Chavez " ). Chavez lacks a bachelor ' s degree, d oes not

1816have an RBT certificate, and his work history only had nine

1827months ' work experience with the required target population,

1836which is 15 months short of the minimu m requirements of the

1848Handbook.

1849Employee No. 3

18522 6 . MPI discovered ABA violated policy b y billing Medicaid

1864$79,551.14 for behavior analysis services conducted by

1872Mairelis Gonzalez Rodriguez ( " Rodriguez " ). Rodriguez lacks a

1881bachelor ' s degree and has a high school diploma, but does not

1894have a n RBT certificate and does not have the two years ' w ork

1909experience with the required target population.

1915Employee No. 4

19182 7 . MPI discovered ABA violated policy by billing Medicaid

1929$44,737.30 for behavior analysis services conducted by Nury Grela

1939Dominguez ( " Dominguez " ). Dominguez lacks a bachelor ' s degree a nd

1952has a high school diploma , but does not have a n RBT certificate.

1965She also does not have two years of work experience with the

1977target population .

1980Employee No. 5

19832 8 . MPI found ABA violated policy by billing Medicaid

1994$48,272.40 for behavior analysis serv ices conducted by Yoiset

2004Orive ( " Orive " ). Orive neither has a bachelor ' s degree nor the

2018RBT certificate that is required with a high school diploma.

2028Additionally, she only has 19 months ' direct work experience with

2039the target population instead of the re quired 24 months.

2049Hearing

205029. At the final hearing, the parties announced and

2059stipulated that only five ABA employees ' , Lebron Diaz, Chavez,

2069Rodriguez, Dominguez, and Orive's ("disputed employees") ,

2077eligibility is contested for the determination of Medica id

2086overpayment in this matter. AHCA is seeking an overpayment of

2096$207,082.92 and sanctions and costs in the amount of $2,500.00

2108for the disputed employees.

211230. At hearing, Jennifer Ellingsen ( " Ellingsen " ), AHCA ' s

2123Medicaid health program analyst, testifie d that she was assigned

2133ABA ' s case after Kinzer retired. Ellingsen worked for AHCA as an

2146analyst on audits of Medicaid providers for 12 years.

215531. Ellingsen reevaluated the eligibility of the disputed

2163employees. During her review, Ellingsen assessed all the records

2172supplied by ABA. She looked at the complete employment files of

2183the disputed employees including applications, resumes, and

2190references. She also attempted to verify credentials by calling

2199references when the employee files did not contain th e required

2210information.

221132. During the review, Ellingsen researched previous

2218employers listed on the resumes to confirm periods of employment

2228and whether work duties were with the required target population.

2238Some letters of reference were character ref erences, which she

2248was not able to use toward eligibility because the letters did

2259not relate to work history.

226433. Ellingsen also faced challenges verifying backgrounds

2271for the disputed employees when some phone numbers were not in

2282service, she could not find current numbers or locations for the

2293entity listed, or people did not return her calls. Several of

2304the employee reference letters also failed to have any notation

2314that Respondent attempted to verify the letters. Ellingsen made

2323numerous attempts to verify that each of the disputed employees

2333had previously worked with the target population, but was unable

2343to confirm the two years ' direct care service for all of the

2356disputed employees.

235834. Ellingsen credibly summarized the verification process,

2365backgr ound research results, and concluded that each of the

2375disputed employees were ineligible to perform behavior analysis

2383services because they did not meet the criteria in policy 3.2.

2394She testified that the disputed employees ' ineligibility was

2403because all f ive lacked college degrees in a human services -

2415related field, none had RBT certifications, and each lacked the

2425verifiable two years of direct care services experience with the

2435target population, which the Handbook required.

244135. Ellingsen added up ABA ' s Me dicaid overpayments owed

2452from the disputed employees for a total of $207,082.92.

246236. At hearing, Robi Olmstead ( " Olmstead " ) explained that

2472section 409.913 , Florida Statutes, and Florida Administrative

2479Code Rule 59G - 9.070(7) require that sanctions be appli ed in the

2492amount of $1,000 .00 per claim, which would have been over

2504approximately $ 3,000,000.00 in this case. However, Olmstead

2514testified that , in this case , AHCA implemented the cap that

2524reduced ABA ' s s anctions and cost s to $2,500.00.

253637. Respondent , Va rinia Cabrera ( " Cabrera " ), ABA owner,

2546testified that she interviewed and checked the references of all

2556of the disputed employees. Cabrera believed that each of the

2566disputed employees met the requirements of policy 3.2 before she

2576hired them to perform beha vior analysis services at ABA.

258638. Cabrera also maintained that since AHCA provided each

2595of the disputed employees in question with a Medicaid Provider ID

2606number , she believed AHCA had also validated and approved the

2616disputed employees to work for her per forming behavior analysis

2626services.

262739. A Medicaid Provider ID number is a number assigned to

2638employees and contractors of Medicaid providers to track and bill

2648for claims. The provision of a Medicaid Provider ID number does

2659not substitute for any Medica id provider ensuring that its

2669employees or subcontractors have the required credentials to

2677perform the services to which they are billing.

2685CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

268840. DOAH has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this

2698proceeding and the parties thereto purs uant to s ections 120.569

2709and 120.57(1), Florida Statutes (2019).

271441. AHCA is empowered to " recover overpayments and impose

2723sanctions as appropriate. " § 409.913, Fla. Stat. An overpayment

" 2732includes any amount that is not authorized to be paid by the

2744Medi caid program whether paid as a result of inaccurate or

2755improper cost reporting, improper claiming, unacceptable

2761practices, fraud, abuse, or mistake. " § 409.913(1)(e), Fla.

2769Stat.

277042. As the party asserting the overpayment, AHCA bears the

2780burden of proof t o establish the alleged overpayment by a

2791preponderance of the evidence. Southpoint e Pharmacy v. Dep ' t of

2803HRS , 596 So. 2d 106, 109 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992).

281343. Section 409.913(7)(e) details a provider ' s

2821responsibility when filing a Medicaid claim and states , in

2830pertinent part:

2832(7) When presenting a claim for payment

2839under the Medicaid program, a provider has an

2847affirmative duty to supervise the provision

2853of, and be responsible for, goods and

2860services claimed to have been provided, to

2867supervise and be responsible for preparation

2873and submission of the claim, and to present a

2882claim that is true and accurate and that is

2891for goods and services that:

2896(e) Are provided in accord with applicable

2903provisions of all Medicaid rules,

2908regulations, handbooks, and policies and in

2914accordance with f ederal, state, and local

2921law.

292244. In this case, AHCA established and proved by a

2932preponderance of the evidence that it paid ABA for claims that

2943failed to comply with the Handbook. The evidence demonstrates

2952that the disputed employees were ineligible to provide behavior

2961analysis services. Consequently, AHCA is entitled to

2968reimbursement for the improper claims.

297345. Applying the foregoing principles to the F indings of

2983F act contained herein, the undersigned concludes that Respondent

2992was overpaid with resp ect to the following disputed employees:

3002• Employee No. 1: $3,803.28

3008• Employee No. 2: $44,737.30

3014• Employee No. 3: $79,551.14

3020• Employee No. 4: $30,718.80

3026• Employee No. 5: $48,272.40

3032ABA ' s overpayment totals $207,082.92.

303946. Section 409.913(11) mandates that repayment is a

3047provider ' s responsibility when filing an inappropriate Medicaid

3056claim and states , in pertinent part:

3062(11) The agency shall deny payment or

3069require repayment for inappropriate,

3073medically unnecessary, or excessive goods or

3079services from the person furnishing them, the

3086person under whose supervision they were

3092furnished, or the person causing them to be

3100furnished .

310247. Accordingly, AHCA prevails in its claim to seek

3111reimbursement of the overpayment in the amount of $207,082.92 for

3122the disputed employees and the $2 , 500.00 for sanctions and costs.

3133RECOMMENDATION

3134Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusi ons of

3145Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Agency f or Health Care

3156Administration enter a final order directing Advanced Behavioral

3164Association , LLC , to repay $207,082.92 for the claims found to be

3176overpayments and $2 , 500.00 in sanctions and costs.
