This week, Nebraska State Auditor Mike Foley beat them to the punch.
The attention came in light of ballooning state costs to provide ABA services.
The hearing was part of an interim study to inform the Legislature how it might help ensure the viability of Medicaid-funded ABA services.
Several providers “lacked professional credentials to be a service provider yet successfully billed DHHS for services,” Foley said.
The audit recommended continued review and update of service definitions for the ABA program and more specific guidance on documenting claims.
