Current through April 27, 2019
Section 7-30 - Record Retention

(a) Providers shall comply with the Provider Records requirements of Chapter 3 of the Wyoming, Provider Participation.

(b) Explanation of records. In the event of a field audit, the provider shall have available at the field audit location one (1) or more knowledgeable persons who can explain the provider's financial records, the accounting and control system, and cost report preparation, including attachments and allocations, to the auditors.

(c) Failure to maintain records. A provider unable to satisfy any of the requirements of this Section shall be given a written notice of deficiency and shall have sixty (60) days after the date of the written notice to correct such deficiency. If, at the end of the sixty (60) days, the Department determines that the deficiency has not been corrected, the Department shall withhold twenty-five (25) percent of the provider's per diem rate for services provided on or after the sixtieth (60th) day. If, at the end of one hundred and twenty (120) days after the mailing of the written notice of deficiency, the Department determines that the deficiency has not been corrected, the Department shall suspend all Medicaid payments for services provided after such date. Reimbursement shall not be reinstated until the Department determines that adequate records are being maintained. After the deficiency is corrected, the Department shall release any withheld payments.

(d) Out-of-state records. If a provider maintains financial or medical records out of state, the provider shall either transfer the records to an in-state location that is suitable for the Department to perform the field audit or reimburse the Department for reasonable costs, including travel, lodging and meals, incurred in performing the field audit in an out-of-state location.
