Abstract:
Why OIG Did This Audit. OIG previously conducted an audit of critical incidents involving Medicaid enrollees with developmental disabilities residing in group homes and found that Connecticut did not comply with Federal Medicaid waiver and State requirements for reporting and monitoring critical incidents. The report contained four recommendations. Our objectives were to determine whether the State agency implemented the recommendations from our prior audit and complied with Federal Medicaid waiver and State requirements for reporting and monitoring abuse, neglect, and critical incidents. How OIG Did This Audit. We reviewed Connecticut’s system for reporting and monitoring of critical incidents involving Medicaid enrollees with developmental disabilities during our audit period, January 2020 through December 2020. To determine whether the four recommendations from the prior OIG report were implemented, we reviewed correspondence from CMS and supporting documentation provided by the State. We limited our review to 163 incidents of potential abuse and neglect during the audit period for 138 enrollees between the ages of 18 and 59 who resided in group homes. We also reviewed 57 potential critical incidents involving 51 Medicaid enrollees between the ages of 18 and 59 who resided in group homes.
