ATTENTION PROVIDERS
PAYMENT ERROR RATE MEASUREMENT (PERM) 2017 IS NOW IN PROGRESS

Louisiana Medicaid is mandated to participate in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Payment Error Rate Measurement (PERM) program which will assess our payment accuracy rate for the Medicaid and CHIP programs. If chosen in a random sample, your organization will soon receive a Medical Records Request from the CMS review contractor, CNI Advantage.

Please be advised that sampled providers who fail to cooperate with the CMS contractor by established deadlines may be subject to sanctioning by Louisiana Medicaid Program Integrity through the imposition of a payment recovery by means of a withholding of payment until the overpayment is satisfied, and/or a fine.

Please be reminded that providers who are no longer doing business with Louisiana Medicaid are obligated to retain recipient records for 5 years, under the terms of the Provider Enrollment Agreement.

For more information about PERM and your role as a provider, please visit the Provider link on the CMS PERM website: http://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Monitoring-Programs/PERM/Providers.html.

ATTENTION: Louisiana Department of Health Requests Provider Stakeholder Participation

The Louisiana Department of Health is interested in learning more from community stakeholders to assist in the development of a data-driven Health Information Technology (Health IT) Roadmap. Please consider distributing the following survey within the provider community and/or completing on behalf of your individual practice. The survey is open to all provider types, regardless of payer mix. Direct feedback from the provider community is instrumental in this objective.

Once the survey is started, there is not the ability to save and return. The questions will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes to complete. All responses will be summarized and de-identified for purposes of creating the Health IT Roadmap.

The survey can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/W9R3LQ2
