- There is "self-reporting", as the CPAs are non-profit, which means there are no external audits and the fraudulent, wasteful and abusive activities are never reported nor are they used to improve quality of services;
- There is no contractual debarment, license revocation, sanctions or prosecution of fraud, waste and abuse in foster care and adoption;
- The State Attorney General Medicaid Fraud Control Unit does not go after Medicaid fraud in child welfare;
- There is typically no bidding process in child welfare services, allowing the privatized agency to set its own price on which the state will adopt;
- Most state accreditation organizations are quasi-governmental organizations, to advocate for cub
- Privatized CPAs are also privileged to quasi-immunities, protecting them from greater public challenges to issues of transparency and accountability; and,
- Anything in child welfare is a secret...shhhhh....
This is my journey through the political process of the United States to end Medicaid fraud in child welfare.
