HRS §346-59.6
Getting back Medicaid payments made by mistake
The state must get back Medicaid money paid to providers when the payment was wrong, such as for services not covered or errors. They can take the money back from future payments, use tax refunds, or get a court order. They can also use other legal ways to recover the money.
The statute, as written — Medicaid overpayment recovery
The director shall recover medicaid overpayments made to providers. Medicaid overpayments shall be recovered due to a provider's ineligibility, noncovered service, noncovered drug, lack of prior authorization when a service requires one, incorrect payment allowance identified through any post payment review, or claims processing error. The director may recover overpayments through recoupment, tax offset under sections 231-51 to 231-59, and circuit court judgment. Nothing in this section shall limit the director's authority to recover overpayments through all other lawful means.
