It is the policy of Independent Living Association, Inc. and ILA Case Management Services, Inc. (ILA) and the New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD) to assist in ensuring the integrity of the Medicaid program by safeguarding against Medicaid abuse and the submission of fraudulent Medicaid claims. OMRDD acts under the direction of the New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) to identify inappropriate Medicaid claims and to maintain Medicaid program integrity.
The OMIG has been established by statute as an independent entity within the New York State Department of Health to improve and preserve the integrity of the Medicaid program by conducting and coordinating fraud, waste and abuse control activities for all State agencies responsible for services funded by Medicaid. In carrying out its mission, the OMIG conducts and supervises all prevention, detection, audit and investigation efforts with OMRDD and other State agencies.
Under the direction of the OMIG, ILA has developed policies and procedures to ensure that our organization is in compliance with required Medicaid statues. We are required to notify you by October 1, 2007 and by January first each year after of the ILA Corporate Compliance policy.
Please read the Independent Living Association’s Corporate Compliance Policy which can be found on the ILA web site:
If you have any questions concerning our Corporate Compliance Policy please contact the ILA Corporate Compliance Officer, Richard Gruber at 718-852-2000 ext. 122.
