OHCA Policies and Rules
[Revised 07-01-10]
(a) There will be an on site Inspection of Care (IOC) of each psychiatric facility that provides care to SoonerCare eligible children which will be performed by the OHCA or its designated agent. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority will designate the members of the Inspection of Care team.
(b) The IOC team will consist of one to three team members and will be comprised of Licensed Behavioral Health Professionals (LBHP) or Registered Nurses.
(c) The inspection will include observation and contact with members. The Inspection of Care Review will consist of members present or listed as facility residents at the beginning of the Inspection of Care visit as well as members on which claims have been filed with OHCA for acute or PRTF levels of care. The review includes validation of certain factors, all of which must be met for the services to be compensable.
(d) Following the on-site inspection, the Inspection of Care Team will report its findings to the facility. The facility will be provided with written notification if the findings of the inspection of care have resulted in any deficiencies. A copy of the final report will be sent to the facility's accrediting agency.
(e) Deficiencies found during the IOC may result in a partial per-diem recoupment or a full per-diem recoupment of the compensation received. The following documents are considered to be critical to the integrity of care and treatment and must be completed within the time lines designated in OAC 317:30-5-95.37:
(1) History and physical evaluation;
(2) Psychiatric evaluation;
(3) Psychosocial evaluation; and
(4) Individual Plan of Care.
(f) For each day that the History and Physical evaluation, Psychiatric evaluation, Psychosocial evaluation and Individual Plan of Care are not contained within the member's records, those days will warrant a full per-diem recoupment of the compensation received. Full per-diem recoupment will only occur for those documents.
(g) If the review findings have resulted in a partial per-diem recoupment of $50.00 per event, the days of service involved will be reported in the notification. If the review findings have resulted in full per diem recoupment status, the non-compensable days of service will be reported in the notification. In the case of non-compensable days full per diem or partial per diem, the facility will be required to refund the amount.(h) Penalties of non-compensable days which are the result of the facility's failure to appropriately provide and document the services described herein, or adhere to applicable accreditation, certification, and/or state licensing standards, are not compensable or billable to the member or the member's family.
