OFFICE OF THE MEDICAID INSPECTOR GENERAL (OMIG) WAS ENTITLED TO THE FULL AMOUNT OF OVERPAYMENT MADE BY MEDICAID TO A METHADONE CLINIC, DESPITE THE INCLUSION OF A LOWER SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IN TWO NOTICES (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, in a full-fledged opinion by Judge Feinman, reversing the Appellate Division, determined that the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) had properly notified the operator of a methadone clinic of the amount of overpayment by Medicaid that the OMIG was seeking. The OMIG had notified the clinic it was seeking about 1.8 million but was willing to settle for about 1.4 million. The clinic did not take any of the administrative steps or appeals that were available to it and did not agree to settle. The clinic argued that because two notices included only the 1.4 million settlement amount, the lower amount was owed. The Court of Appeals rejected that argument:

The pertinent regulations provide that, if an audit report is challenged, “[a]n extrapolation based upon an audit utilizing a statistical sampling method certified as valid will be presumed, in the absence of expert testimony and evidence to the contrary, to be an accurate determination of the total overpayments made or the penalty to be imposed” … . By contrast, the $1,460,914 figure, as explained in … the cover letter, merely represented, with 95% accuracy, a lower bound on the true amount overpaid. The [final audit report] and cover letter sufficiently notified [the clinic] … of OMIG’s $1,857,401 overpayment assessment which OMIG would be entitled to withhold … . West Midtown Mgt.
