A. Compliance Audit Updates – moved down in agenda
B. Compliance Audit Process
1. MHB Compliance Audit Process Packet
Pp 5, 6, and 7 are reminder “cheat sheets” for providers.
Pp 7 is based on the types of funding as to how each agency is audited. There are 4 types of funding: FFS, POP, Grant,
and P4P. These drive type of funding, work plan, execution of audits, etc.
Pp 9 is the Records Auditing and monitoring policy spells out how records are pulled for audit and determines audit
period, usually 3-4 months.
Pp 10 is a checklist completed before hand prior to performing an audit and includes every document required by
agency at some point throughout the year. Highlighted items are new for FY18 as result of CARF process and are
covered in the discussion with providers. The checklist is reviewed at the entrance conference with expectation of that
all required items have been submitted to the MHB. An exit interview is to review any findings and wrap up issues
identified.
The CARF Standards manual is included with highlights of background checks, processes, safety, etc.
On pp 58 Required Written Documentation are all policies that all agencies should have in place. Providers are given
this list with the expectation that all are working toward getting these policies in place.
Pp 60 - 62 show the final audit report.
Pp 63 is the MHB Audit and Appeals Policy.
Terry reviews: Residency of individual, Coordination of Benefits, Assessment of the client, Current Plan in place,
Transaction support, No comment is made on clinical content, unless the documentation references non-billable
activities taking place.
Terry discuss service delivery consistency in alignment with State rules.
Providers receive a minimum of two weeks advance notice scheduled convenient to them and receive a listing of
client files 24 hours in advance.
Depending on funding type: payroll is verified, background checks of MHB funded individuals, and documentation
of any background check hits, which demonstrate that provider policies have been followed.
Every agency gets visited at least once a year, some agencies up to four times a year, if the agencies are newly
funded by the MHB or there have been compliance findings at previous audits.
Scott noted that he wanted Board members to be aware of MHB compliance standards.
All referenced contractual policies are included with the Contract each year.

Scott noted that DASA is now known as Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (SUPR). The department’s
expectations are much more stringent including a new “stop payment,” if State contractual expectations are not met.
Expectations of the MHB are in alignment with industry standards.
C. Data Validation System Demo
Vickie Johansen, Contract and Grant Lifecycle Monitor attended the meeting to illustrate the system that inputs the
data. Terry explained the excel spreadsheet looks for billing overlap by client and by clinician. . The program also
identifies invalid codes, as well as valid modifier.
Client insurance benefits are documented in the audit process. There is a contractual expectation of coordination of
benefits.
Discussion of insurance, billing, Medicaid eligibility was held.
Scott has set up a follow up meeting with representatives of Illinois Association of Medicaid Health Plans (IAMHP) to
start a conversation between 708 Board and IAMHP. They were not aware that the State had 708 Boards.
A. Compliance Audit Updates
Terry reviewed audit reports completed with recommendations performed this quarter.
New Directions is still working on their financial policy and procedures; they did provide a plan of correction to the
MHB. The MHB will monitor the plan.
Rosecrance – releases with no recoupment attached. Only Grant and POP affected.
22nd Judicial – no findings.
NAMI – scope of work slightly above what they should be doing caused MHB to consider contractual partnerships for
licensed supervision. Other smaller agencies have the same issue.
Turning Point – PAIP documentation referenced non-billable services. A recommendation was provided to review
what the service was.
Thresholds – recoupment of one client’s services, due to a missing release.
Sheriff’s Dept. – no findings.
TLS – lengthy group time, peer support program without evidence of clinical supervision, signature of client to allow
review of files during audit. The New Horizons program records were pristine.
The need for additional training was discussed for Peer Specialists. Certified Recovery Support Specialist training is
more comprehensive than the VA training for Support Specialists.
D. Review and Recommendations for Provider Plan of Correction - FOR ACTION
Scott reviewed Pioneer Center (PC) issues. In December, with development of new contracts, special conditions were
developed for the FFS programs.
Section 7 of MHB Funding Agreement states that services are to be delivered in alignment with Administrative rules.
According to these rules, all clients must have an assessment and an individual service plan in their files. This
requirement was identified in December. In March it was again identified in PC’s first Compliance Audit of FY18–
multiple files were missing WON, assessments, and plans. Scott and Terry met with PC Staff who assured this would
not be a problem and the WONs would be in file by July 1 Audit.
Compliance Audit was again conducted in August, still PC had missing WONs, assessments and plans. The appropriate
leadership were included in the audit entrance and exit conferences.
Caitlin, Compliance Manager provided an August email with plan of correction admitting PC’s deficiencies and
outlining corrective steps to be put in place.
According to MHB this was receipt of plan. There is 45 days to reply.
Sam Tenuto has since asked to revise the plan and have a hearing before the Board to contest this issue.
Scott has contacted legal counsel who they have responded within 45 days. Dave said we should allow them the 45
days, Oct. 8 to revise response or request a hearing. This hearing would be a public meeting of the Board including legal
counsel from both sides. Sam’s defense is that MHB staff is stretched thin. At the end MHB must decide whether or not
to uphold its Policy.
Cathy noted that ignorance is not an excuse and she is tired of PC turning issues around to be someone else’s fault. She
does have think the MHB should wait until October 8 and should request the recoupment.

MHB Policy stated the audit appeal process clearly. PC states that services were provided but not documented. Other
agencies doing the same work have complied with Administrative Rules and MHB contractual requirements for
documentation. Legal counsel suggests MHB let calendar run out by October 8.
Additionally during this issue, Pioneer Center asked that $30,000 be reallocated from unutilized contracts to another
program. Scott did not wish to consider this. The Committee concurred and felt that the Pioneer Center Board members
need to be approached and told of the situation.
Cathy noted concern that Pioneer Center has new programming that is making money in behavioral health
programming. They have a new program called TAMI and are also providing services to Garden Quarter. These
services are not funded by the MHB.
Discussion followed that MHB needs to uphold audit findings and recoup the dollars. If the MHB does not enforce this
it is not fair to other agencies. Sarah reminded the members of the recoupment from New Directions last year that was a
difficult decision on behalf of the Board but upheld the contractual requirements.
Per MHB policy, Pioneer Center needs to respond by Oct. 8. If they do not respond then recoupment is due.
