Program Integrity Overpayment Recovery Clause Samples

The Program Integrity Overpayment Recovery clause establishes the right and process for recovering funds that were overpaid under a program or agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the circumstances under which overpayments are identified, the methods for notifying the affected party, and the procedures for repayment or offsetting future payments. For example, if an audit reveals that a participant received more funds than they were entitled to, the clause would dictate how and when those excess funds must be returned. Its core function is to ensure financial accuracy and accountability by providing a clear mechanism for correcting payment errors and protecting the program from financial losses due to overpayments.
Program Integrity Overpayment Recovery. Where the excluded individual is the provider of services or an owner of the provider, all amounts paid to the provider for services rendered following their exclusion shall be refunded.

In cases involving wasteful or abusive provider billing or service practices (including overpayments) identified and recovered by Contractor. In cases involving wasteful or abusive provider billing or service practices (including overpayments) identified by the FSSA PI Unit, FSSA may recover any identified overpayment directly from the provider or may require Contractor to recover the identified overpayment and repatriate the funds to the State Medicaid program as directed by the FSSA PI Unit. The FSSA PI Unit may also take disciplinary action against any provider identified by Contractor or the FSSA PI Unit as engaging in inappropriate or abusive billing or service provision practices. If a fraud referral from Contractor generates an investigation and/or corresponding legal action results in a monetary recovery to IHCP, the reporting Contractor will be entitled to share in such recovery following final resolution of the matter (settlement agreement/final court judgment) and following payment of recovered funds to the State of Indiana. The Contractor's share of recovery will be as follows:  From the recovery, the State (including the IMFCU) shall retain its costs of pursuing the action, including any costs associated with FSSA PI Unit operations associated with the investigation, and its actual documented loss (if any). The State will pay to the Contractor the remainder of the recovery, not to exceed the Contractor's actual documented loss. Actual documented loss of the parties will be determined by paid false or fraudulent claims, canceled checks or other similar documentation which objectively verifies the dollar amount of loss.  If the State determines it is in its best interest to resolve the matter under a settlement agreement, the State has final authority concerning the offer, or acceptance, and terms of a settlement. The State will exercise its best efforts to consult with the Contractor about potential settlement. The State may consider the Contractor's preferences or opinions about acceptance, rejection or the terms of a settlement, but they are not binding on the State.  If final resolution of a matter does not occur until after the Contract has expired, the preceding terms concerning disposition of any recovery and consultation with the Contractor shall survive ...
