Abstract:
Why OIG Did This Audit. We previously issued an audit of Pennsylvania as part of a series of audits conducted in response to a congressional request concerning deaths and abuse of residents with developmental disabilities in group homes. In our previous audit, we found that Pennsylvania did not comply with Federal Medicaid waiver and State requirements for reporting and monitoring such incidents. Our previous audit report contained seven recommendations. Our objective was to determine whether Pennsylvania implemented the recommendations from our prior audit, Pennsylvania Did Not Fully Comply With Federal and State Requirements for Reporting and Monitoring Critical Incidents Involving Medicaid Beneficiaries With Developmental Disabilities (A-03-17- 00202). How OIG Did This Audit. We reviewed Pennsylvania’s system for the reporting and monitoring of critical incidents involving Medicaid waiver participants with developmental disabilities who were covered by the waiver and resided in community-based settings during the audit period. We also reviewed correspondence and documentation to determine whether Pennsylvania had implemented our previous recommendations and had taken actions that satisfied the intent of our recommendations.
