We will first review the key findings from the OIG's audit of Indiana's fee-for-service Medicaid ABA program, which found at least $56 million in improper payments and identified documentation, credentialing and oversight deficiencies. We then turn to the state of Wisconsin, whose audit identified at least $18.5 million in improper payments tied to Medicaid ABA claims. Finally, we discuss the broader implications for states as Medicaid oversight intensifies, the compliance bar rises, and risks for providers and state agencies grow. The enforcement environment signals that states and providers must review their ABA documentation, billing, provider credentialing, and pre and post-claim submission processes. Participants will learn: Key trends and common deficiencies identified by the OIG in ABA-related Medicaid claims (e.g., missing or inadequate session notes, unqualified providers, ineligible beneficiaries). How the audit findings in Indiana and Wisconsin may translate into compliance expectations, provider risk, and state agency response
