Slide2CTS Introduction
Slide3Coordinated Transportation Solutions, Inc.
CTS is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entity founded in Connecticut in 1997. We manage non-emergency transportation programs for government agencies, managed care organizations, school districts and businesses throughout the northeast and mid-Atlantic region. We do not have drivers and vehicles of our own that perform trips. Rather, we coordinate transportation using a network of credentialed and contracted, local transportation companies.
NEMT – Non-Emergency Medical Transportation
NET – Non-Emergency Transportation
CTS serves state departments of Medicaid and Health Plans that manage care for individuals eligible for Medicaid and Medicare.
Our Health Plan Clients hold Medicaid/Medicare contracts with the state. Part of their responsibility is to provide access to healthcare, through transportation, to eligible members. As a part of our Client’s responsibilities, they delegate to CTS the transportation services CTS is tasked with establishing and monitoring a network of Transportation Providers, Taking Member Calls for Bookings, Securing Rides for Eligible Members for Covered Locations and Appointments, Submitting Claims and Payment, Reporting, and customizing each program to meet Client-specific rules for their Members.

Who is CTS
Slide4Medicare
Slide5Medicare
Medicare
i
s a national health insurance program in the United States, begun in 1966 under the Social Security Administration and now administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It provides health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older.
Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage is Managed Care, administered by our Clients.
Medicare Advantage often times offers additional benefits that Original Medicare can’t, which makes this option more attractive for Members.
Medicare members that also qualify for Medicaid, are
‘dual eligible,’
meaning that those people have Medicaid Benefits and Payment Coverage after the Medicare Coverage has been used first.

CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES
Original Medicare
Part A hospital coveragePart B outpatient, or regular Doctor office coverage Part C is Medicare Advantage – MA combines Part A & Part B, and often times Part D (MA-PD) into one program that Insurance Companies AdministerPart D Pharmacy coverage
Slide6Medicaid
Slide7Medicaid
Medicaid
– is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid also offers benefits not normally covered by Medicare, like nursing home care and personal care services.
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation to and from doctor appointments have been a long-standing Medicaid required benefit, instituted by federal regulation.

Each State has their own Medicaid Program – In Connecticut, the Medicaid programs are called HUSKY A, HUSKY C, and HUSKY D.

Slide8General Compliance
Slide9Compliance
Compliance Programs are designed to ensure Companies remain within the bounds of the law, governmental regulations, and contractual requirements.
In 1991, The U.S. Sentencing Commission established the Seven Elements for an Effective Compliance Program. Many of those same strategies are utilized in healthcare compliance.
Compliance is staying within the rules of the company, preventing violations, promptly reporting violations when detected, and correcting violations as soon as possible.

SEVEN BASIC ELEMENTS
Slide12Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
FWA
Slide13Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
Fraud
:
•
Knowingly
billing for services not furnished or supplies not provided, including billing for appointments that the driver failed to make; • Forging Member Signatures implying Rides were made; and •
Knowingly altering claim forms, mileage records, or timestamps to get a higher payment.
Waste
:
• Member has a car for F|F Program, but continues to us Taxi/Livery;
• Scheduling multiple rides in anticipation of getting an appointment time; and
• Canceling rides without at least a hour notice.
Abuse: • Billing for unnecessary, scenic routes;
• Stopping at multiple locations before scheduled destination; • Charging excessively for a higher transportation mode than supplied; and
• Transportation Providers accepting as many rides as possible and rejecting less expensive rides at the end of the day prior to those trips. 12
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE
Slide14Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
How Do You Prevent FWA?
• Look for suspicious activity
• Conduct yourself in an ethical manner
• Ensure accurate booking and Provider securement;
• Verify all information provided to you; and
• Remember your Training.
Report FWA
Everyone must report suspected instances of FWA. There is a policy of anti-retaliation for making a good faith effort in reporting.
Do not be concerned about whether it is fraud, waste, or abuse – Just report any concerns to your compliance department or anonymously through the Ethics Hotline.
Compliance will investigate and make the proper determination.
Correction
Once fraud, waste, or abuse has been detected, it must be promptly corrected. Correcting the problem saves the Government money and ensures you are in compliance.
Develop a plan to correct the issue. Compliance will complete the corrective action plan development.
•Design the CAP to correct the root cause of the program violations and to prevent future non- compliance; •Tailor the CAP to address the particular FWA, problem, or deficiency identified. Include timeframes for specifications; •Document non-compliance or FWA committed by an employee or Transportation Provider and include consequences for failure to complete the CAP; and
•Once started, continuously monitor CAPs to ensure they are effective.
13
Prevent, Detect, Report, Correct
When in Doubt, report to the Compliance Department or Ethics Hotline.
Slide15Examples
Owner of Rite Way Transport charged with laundering $19M in Medicaid Fraud
Before it closed in 2015, the company mainly drove MassHealth members to methadone clinics. The owner of Rite Way LLC, was initially charged in 2016 with fraudulently billing MassHealth $19 million for transportation that never occurred.
The company is accused of making fraudulent claims for non-emergency wheelchair van transportation and bribing MassHealth employees to recruit others to use Rite Way services, according to a press release from Attorney General Maura Healey’s office.
Albany transport company owner sentenced for Medicaid Fraud
The co-owner of an Albany transportation company,
Ammediate Transport fraudulently billed Medicaid for over $50,000 for rides that never happened. He was convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to two to four years in prison.
He admitted to setting up “ghost rides”, in which he would bill Medicaid for transporting fake patients to physical therapy appointments.

FRAUD SCHEMES
Slide16Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
HIPAA
Slide17HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
HIPAA created safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to protected health care information. As an individual with access to protected health care information, you must comply with HIPAA.
CTS does handle PHI in terms of the Member’s name, address, phone number, medical ID Number, doctor information, and location information.
It only takes a small amount of PHI to identify a Member; Once disclosed, the Member could have their health information exposed, claims submitted under their name/ID number, identity could be stolen, and/or more criminal acts.
It is
PARAMOUNT
as an employee of CTS, to protect all member information at all costs.
Verify who the Caller is
Never disclose another Member’s information to a Caller
Shred documents/paper with Member PHI on it
Secure/Lock Computer Screens and Desk Drawers with PHI
16PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION (PHI)
Slide18HIPAA Safeguard Measures
Secure Computer
Always Lock your Computer when Leaving Your Workspace.
Use ‘
Ctrl+Alt+Del
’ or ‘ +L’ to Lock your Screen. Change and Save PasswordsKeep your Password Confidential and Change it often with a combination of letters, numbers, and alphanumeric symbols
Secure Email
CTS has the ability to send email secure and encrypted through the ZixMail
feature – Additionally emails are encrypted when ‘[Secure]’ is entered in the Subject Line.
Always Secure Email Containing PHI
Record Retention
For Audits and other Retrospective reviews, CTS must store Documentation Medicare – 10 years | Medicaid – 7 yearsShred Documents with PHI
PHI is not to leave the office – SHRED IT! Place it in the Shred bins located around the office

ADOPT THESE BEHAVIORS
Slide19Exclusions
OIG LEIE and SAM
Slide20Government Participation
The
OIG
excludes individuals and entities from federally funded health care programs in the
LEIE
. No Federal health care program payment may be made for any service furnished by an individual or entity excluded by the OIG.
SAM is a Federal Government website that consolidates the exclusion databases, including EPLS.
Exclusion records identify those parties excluded from receiving federal contracts and from certain types of federal financial assistance and benefits.
Administrating Entities must check both the
LEIE
and the EPLS since the lists are not the same.

Slide22Notable Laws and Statutes
False Claims Act
Cannot Submit False or Fraudulent Claims for Goods or Services
Anti-Kickback Statute
Prohibits Soliciting and Receiving Remuneration for Referrals
Stark Law
Doctors Cannot Refer Members to Facilities They Have Ownership Interests In
Healthcare Criminal Fraud
Protects Against Fraud Schemes
Civil Monetary Penalty Law

21
MAINTAIN PROGRAM INTEGRITY
Slide23False Claims Act
Slide24False Claims Act
The
Civil
FCA
protects the Government from being overcharged. No specific intent to defraud is required.
Filing false claims may result in fines of up to three times the programs' loss
plus $11,000 per claim filed. Under the Civil FCA, each instance of an item or a service billed to Medicare or Medicaid counts as a claim, so fines can add up quickly.
The Civil FCA contains a
whistleblower provision
that allows a private individual to file a lawsuit on behalf of the United States and entitles that
whistleblower
to a percentage of any recoveries. Whistleblowers could be current or ex-business partners, office staff, Members, or competitors.
The fact that a claim results from a kickback or is made in violation of the Stark law also may render it false or fraudulent, creating liability under the Civil FCA as well as the Anti-Kickback Statute or Stark law.
The Criminal FCA
penalties for submitting false claims include imprisonment and criminal fines. OIG also may impose administrative civil monetary penalties for false or fraudulent claims. Whistleblowers
A whistleblower is a person who exposes information or activity that is deemed illegal, dishonest, or violates professional or clinical standards. They are protected and rewarded.Protected: Persons who report false claims or bring legal actions to recover money paid on false claims are protected from retaliation. Rewarded: Persons who bring a successful whistleblower lawsuit receive at least 15 percent but not more than 30 percent of the money collected.
23
It is illegal to submit claims for payment to Medicare or Medicaid that you know or should know are false or fraudulent
Slide25Anti-Kickback Statute
Slide26Anti-Kickback Statute
The AKS is a
Criminal
law that prohibits the knowing and willful payment of "
remuneration
" to induce or reward patient referrals or the generation of business involving any item or service payable by the Federal health care programs (e.g., transportation services for Medicare or Medicaid patients).
Remuneration
includes anything of value and can take many forms besides cash, such as free rent, expensive hotel stays and meals, and excessive compensation for medical directorships or consultancies.
In some industries, it is acceptable to reward those who refer business to you. However, in the Federal health care programs,
paying for referrals is a crime
.
The statute covers the
payers of kickbacks-those who offer or pay remuneration- as well as the recipients of kickbacks-those who solicit or receive remuneration.
Kickbacks in health care can lead to:
Overutilization - Increased program costs - Corruption of medical decision-making - Patient steering - Unfair CompetitionCriminal penalties and administrative sanctions for violating the AKS include fines, jail terms, and exclusion from participation in the Federal health care programs.
25ANTI-REFERRAL
Slide27Stark Law
Slide28Stark Law
The Stark Statute prohibits a physician from making referrals for certain designated health services to an entity when the physician (or a member of his or her family) has:
• An ownership/investment interest; or
• A compensation arrangement (Exceptions Apply)
For example, if you invest in an imaging center, the Stark law requires the resulting financial relationship to fit within an exception or you may not refer patients to the facility and the entity may not bill for the referred imaging services.
The Stark law is a
strict liability statute
, which means proof of specific intent to violate the law is not required. The Stark law prohibits the submission, or causing the submission, of claims in violation of the law's restrictions on referrals.
Penalties
Medicare claims tainted by an arrangement that does not comply with the Stark Statute are not payable. A penalty of around
$23,800
may be imposed for each service provided. There may also be around a
$159,000 fine for entering into an unlawful arrangement or scheme. Physicians can face exclusion from participation in the Federal health care programs as well.
27PHYSICIAN SELF-REFERRAL
Slide29Healthcare and Criminal
Fraud
Slide30Fraud Statute
“Whoever knowingly and willfully executes, or attempts to execute, a scheme to … defraud any health care benefit program … shall be fined … or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.”
Conviction under the statute does not require proof that the violator had knowledge of the law or specific intent to violate the law.
Examples
Louisiana Legislative Auditors identified over 55,000 claims costing over $1.6M with no corresponding Medicaid medical claims in 2015.
Guam Medical Transport submitted nearly $11M in claims for beneficiaries who didn’t qualify for the service. They coached Members to act less abled to provide them with higher modes of transportation and bill higher-priced codes. One of the owners was the head pastor at the local Church.
Dr.
Demoz
colluded with Majestic Transportation for 110,894 rides, or $3.4M in
Amublette
rides in 2009 - $900,000 more than the next transportation provider.
Criminal Fraud
Persons who knowingly make a false claim may be subject to: • Criminal fines up to $250,000;
• Imprisonment for up to 20 years; or • Both. If the violations resulted in death, the individual may be imprisoned for any term of years or for life.
29INTENTIONAL TAKING FROM THE GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS
Slide31Civil Monetary Penalty
Law
Slide32Civil Monetary Penalties
The Office of Inspector General may impose Civil penalties for a number of reasons, including:
• Arranging for services or items from an excluded individual or entity;
• Providing services or items while excluded;
• Failing to grant OIG timely access to records;
• Knowing of an overpayment and failing to report and return it;
• Making false claims; or
• Paying to influence referrals.
Penalties
The penalties can be around $15,000 to $70,000 depending on the specific violation. Violators are also subject to three times the amount:
• Claimed for each service or item; or
• Of remuneration offered, paid, solicited, or received.
31
BIG TROUBLE
Slide33Conflict of Interest
Slide34Conflict of Interest
Employees have an obligation to conduct business within guidelines that prohibit
actual or potential
conflicts of interest.
An actual or potential conflict of interest occurs when an employee is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain for that employee, a friend, or for a relative as a result of CTS’ business dealings.
A conflict of interest occurs when an employee’s judgment is adversely affected. Disclosure and Reporting is crucial to safeguard all parties. Failure to disclose may result in disciplinary action; including termination of employment.
Examples:Personal gain
where an employee or his or her relative or friend has a significant ownership in a firm with which CTS does business
When an employee, relative, or friend
receives any kickback, bribe, gift, or special consideration
as a result of any transaction or business dealing involving CTS

Issue Spotting
Slide38Skills in Practice
A caller reaches ABC and requests information about their friend’s upcoming scheduled trip appointments. The CSR delivers the information, then the caller requests a trip of their own using their friend’s Medicaid ID number. The caller requests a certain driver, because that driver will take riders to the convenience store before going to the appointment. CSR does not give the caller that driver, instead the CSR secures the ride with their cousin who is a transportation provider with ABC and gives the CSR $50 for every trip they assign.
When the driver arrives to provide transport, they identify themselves as the transportation provider and they are at the arrival location within 15 minutes of pick up time. The driver assists the rider and their wheelchair in the vehicle, but there is not enough straps to secure the wheelchair facing forward and instead allow the wheelchair to face the van’s sliding door. Upon a stop, the wheelchair falls over in the van. The driver panics, stops the vehicle, and tries to jerk the wheelchair upright with the person inside. The rider calls ABC to report the fall and the CSR, understanding it is their cousin’s company, doesn’t report the accident to their team lead, provider relations, or compliance.

ISSUES
Slide41Test Questions
Slide42Knowledge Testing
Last month, while reviewing a monthly report from one of CTS’ Clients, you identified multiple enrollees for which the CTS is being paid, who are not enrolled in the plan. You spoke to your supervisor who said not to worry about it. This month, you have identified the same enrollees on the report again. What should you do?
41
QUESTION 1
Select the correct answer
A. Decide not to worry about it as your supervisor instructed – you notified him last month and now it’s his responsibility
B. Although you have seen notices about the Sponsor’s non-retaliation policy, you are still nervous about reporting – to be safe, you submit a report through your compliance department’s anonymous tip line so you cannot be identified
C. Wait until the next month to see if the same enrollees appear on the report again, figuring it may take a few months for CMS to reconcile its records – if they are, then you will say something to your supervisor again

42
QUESTION 2
Select the correct answer
A. Refuse to change the date or use the new address, but decide not to mention the request to a supervisor or the compliance department
B. Make the requested changes because the Members can determine claims dates and can change their address with CSRs at CTS
C. Tell the Member you will take care of it, but then process the Claims form properly (without the requested revisions) – you will not file a report because you don’t want the Member to complain or file a grievance against you
D. Process the Claims Form properly (without the requested revisions) – inform your supervisor and the compliance officer about the Member’s request
E. Contact law enforcement and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to report the Member’s behavior
