Finding 1 Infant Development Program ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos Infant Development Program Vendor Numbers HS0468 and HS0698 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to SARC

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to SARC The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill SARC The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 565837 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0468 and 131950 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0698 The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to SARC in the amount of $42415143 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $7476290 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total unsupported billings amounted to $49891433

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 219286 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0468 and 30125 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0698 but was not billed to SARC This resulted in an unbilled amount of $16437676 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $1706886 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total failure to bill amounted to $18144562

As a result $31746871 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Finding 1 Infant Development Program ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos Infant Development Program Vendor Numbers HS0468 and HS0698 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to SARC

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to SARC The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill SARC The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 565837 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0468 and 131950 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0698 The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to SARC in the amount of $42415143 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $7476290 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total unsupported billings amounted to $49891433

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 219286 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0468 and 30125 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0698 but was not billed to SARC This resulted in an unbilled amount of $16437676 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $1706886 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total failure to bill amounted to $18144562

As a result $31746871 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

14services havin g been provided

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 1 Infant Development Program ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos Infant Development Program Vendor Numbers HS0468 and HS0698 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to SARC

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to SARC The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill SARC The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 565837 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0468 and 131950 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0698 The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to SARC in the amount of $42415143 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $7476290 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total unsupported billings amounted to $49891433

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 219286 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0468 and 30125 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0698 but was not billed to SARC This resulted in an unbilled amount of $16437676 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $1706886 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total failure to bill amounted to $18144562

As a result $31746871 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Finding 1 Infant Development Program ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos Infant Development Program Vendor Numbers HS0468 and HS0698 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to SARC

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to SARC The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill SARC The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 565837 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0468 and 131950 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0698 The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to SARC in the amount of $42415143 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $7476290 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total unsupported billings amounted to $49891433

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 219286 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0468 and 30125 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0698 but was not billed to SARC This resulted in an unbilled amount of $16437676 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $1706886 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total failure to bill amounted to $18144562

As a result $31746871 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

CCR title 17 section 54326(a)(3) and (10) states

ldquo(a) All vendors shall

(3) Maintain records of services provided to consumers in sufficient detail to verify delivery of the units of service billed

(10) Bill only for services which are actually provided to consumers and which have been authorized by the referring regional centerhelliprdquo

Also CCR title 17 section 50604(d) and (e) states

ldquo(d) All service providers shall maintain complete service records to support all billinginvoicing for each regional center consumer in the programhellip

(e) All service providersrsquo records shall be supported by source documentationrdquo

5

Recommendation ICT must reimburse to DDS the $31746871 for the unsupported billings In addition ICT should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support the amounts billed to SARC

ICTrsquos Response Lani Fritts ICTrsquos Managing Director stated via letter to Edward Yan DDSrsquo Audit Manager dated March 17 2014 that ICT had additional documentation to provide that would support some of the billings A copy of the letter is enclosed as Attachment C

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Behavior Intervention Training ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos ClientParent Support Behavior Intervention Training Vendor Number PS0044 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to RCEB

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to RCEB The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill RCEB The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 250128 hours of services billed The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to RCEB in the amount of $12412595

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 69693 hours of service but was not billed to RCEB This resulted in an unbilled amount of $2899726

As a result $9512869 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

CCR title 17 section 54326(a)(3) and (10) states

ldquo(a) All vendors shall

(3) Maintain records of services provided to consumers in sufficient detail to verify delivery of the units of service billed

(10) Bill only for services which are actually provided to consumers and which have been authorized by the referring regional centerhelliprdquo

6

Also CCR title 17 section 50604(d) and (e) states

ldquo(d) All service providers shall maintain complete service records to support all billinginvoicing for each regional center consumer in the programhellip

(e) All service providersrsquo records shall be supported by source documentationrdquo

Recommendation ICT must reimburse to DDS the $9512869 for the unsupported billings In addition ICT should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support the amounts billed to RCEB

ICTrsquos Response Lani Fritts ICTrsquos Managing Director stated via letter to Edward Yan DDSrsquo Audit Manager dated March 17 2014 that ICT had additional documentation to provide that would support some of the billings A copy of the letter is enclosed as Attachment C

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

14services havin g been provided

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Finding 1 Infant Development Program ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos Infant Development Program Vendor Numbers HS0468 and HS0698 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to SARC

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to SARC The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill SARC The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 565837 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0468 and 131950 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0698 The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to SARC in the amount of $42415143 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $7476290 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total unsupported billings amounted to $49891433

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 219286 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0468 and 30125 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0698 but was not billed to SARC This resulted in an unbilled amount of $16437676 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $1706886 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total failure to bill amounted to $18144562

As a result $31746871 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

CCR title 17 section 54326(a)(3) and (10) states

ldquo(a) All vendors shall

(3) Maintain records of services provided to consumers in sufficient detail to verify delivery of the units of service billed

ldquo(d) All service providers shall maintain complete service records to support all billinginvoicing for each regional center consumer in the programhellip

(e) All service providersrsquo records shall be supported by source documentationrdquo

5

Recommendation ICT must reimburse to DDS the $31746871 for the unsupported billings In addition ICT should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support the amounts billed to SARC

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

14services havin g been provided

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Finding 1 Infant Development Program ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos Infant Development Program Vendor Numbers HS0468 and HS0698 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to SARC

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to SARC The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill SARC The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 565837 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0468 and 131950 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0698 The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to SARC in the amount of $42415143 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $7476290 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total unsupported billings amounted to $49891433

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 219286 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0468 and 30125 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0698 but was not billed to SARC This resulted in an unbilled amount of $16437676 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $1706886 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total failure to bill amounted to $18144562

As a result $31746871 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

CCR title 17 section 54326(a)(3) and (10) states

ldquo(a) All vendors shall

(3) Maintain records of services provided to consumers in sufficient detail to verify delivery of the units of service billed

(10) Bill only for services which are actually provided to consumers and which have been authorized by the referring regional centerhelliprdquo

Also CCR title 17 section 50604(d) and (e) states

ldquo(d) All service providers shall maintain complete service records to support all billinginvoicing for each regional center consumer in the programhellip

(e) All service providersrsquo records shall be supported by source documentationrdquo

5

Recommendation ICT must reimburse to DDS the $31746871 for the unsupported billings In addition ICT should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support the amounts billed to SARC

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 69693 hours of service but was not billed to RCEB This resulted in an unbilled amount of $2899726

As a result $9512869 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

CCR title 17 section 54326(a)(3) and (10) states

ldquo(a) All vendors shall

(3) Maintain records of services provided to consumers in sufficient detail to verify delivery of the units of service billed

(10) Bill only for services which are actually provided to consumers and which have been authorized by the referring regional centerhelliprdquo

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Finding 1 Infant Development Program ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos Infant Development Program Vendor Numbers HS0468 and HS0698 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to SARC

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to SARC The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill SARC The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 565837 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0468 and 131950 hours of services billed for Vendor Number HS0698 The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to SARC in the amount of $42415143 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $7476290 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total unsupported billings amounted to $49891433

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 219286 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0468 and 30125 hours of service for Vendor Number HS0698 but was not billed to SARC This resulted in an unbilled amount of $16437676 for Vendor Number HS0468 and $1706886 for Vendor Number HS0698 The total failure to bill amounted to $18144562

As a result $31746871 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

CCR title 17 section 54326(a)(3) and (10) states

ldquo(a) All vendors shall

(3) Maintain records of services provided to consumers in sufficient detail to verify delivery of the units of service billed

(10) Bill only for services which are actually provided to consumers and which have been authorized by the referring regional centerhelliprdquo

Also CCR title 17 section 50604(d) and (e) states

ldquo(d) All service providers shall maintain complete service records to support all billinginvoicing for each regional center consumer in the programhellip

(e) All service providersrsquo records shall be supported by source documentationrdquo

5

Recommendation ICT must reimburse to DDS the $31746871 for the unsupported billings In addition ICT should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support the amounts billed to SARC

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 69693 hours of service but was not billed to RCEB This resulted in an unbilled amount of $2899726

As a result $9512869 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

CCR title 17 section 54326(a)(3) and (10) states

ldquo(a) All vendors shall

(3) Maintain records of services provided to consumers in sufficient detail to verify delivery of the units of service billed

(10) Bill only for services which are actually provided to consumers and which have been authorized by the referring regional centerhelliprdquo

ldquo(d) All service providers shall maintain complete service records to support all billinginvoicing for each regional center consumer in the programhellip

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

17

Recommendation ICT must reimburse to DDS the $31746871 for the unsupported billings In addition ICT should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support the amounts billed to SARC

ICTrsquos Response Lani Fritts ICTrsquos Managing Director stated via letter to Edward Yan DDSrsquo Audit Manager dated March 17 2014 that ICT had additional documentation to provide that would support some of the billings A copy of the letter is enclosed as Attachment C

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Behavior Intervention Training ndash Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

The review of ICTrsquos ClientParent Support Behavior Intervention Training Vendor Number PS0044 for the period of July 1 2011 through June 30 2012 revealed that ICT had both unsupported billings as well as appropriate support for services that it failed to bill to RCEB

Unsupported billings occurred due to a lack of appropriate documentation to support the units of service billed to RCEB The failure to bill occurred when ICT had appropriate supporting documentation but it did not bill RCEB The following are the discrepancies identified

ICT was not able to provide appropriate supporting documentation for 250128 hours of services billed The lack of documentation resulted in unsupported billings to RCEB in the amount of $12412595

In addition ICT provided appropriate supporting documentation for 69693 hours of service but was not billed to RCEB This resulted in an unbilled amount of $2899726

As a result $9512869 is due back to DDS for the unsupported billings (See Attachment A)

CCR title 17 section 54326(a)(3) and (10) states

ldquo(a) All vendors shall

(3) Maintain records of services provided to consumers in sufficient detail to verify delivery of the units of service billed

(10) Bill only for services which are actually provided to consumers and which have been authorized by the referring regional centerhelliprdquo

6

Also CCR title 17 section 50604(d) and (e) states

ldquo(d) All service providers shall maintain complete service records to support all billinginvoicing for each regional center consumer in the programhellip

(e) All service providersrsquo records shall be supported by source documentationrdquo

Recommendation ICT must reimburse to DDS the $9512869 for the unsupported billings In addition ICT should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support the amounts billed to RCEB

ICTrsquos Response Lani Fritts ICTrsquos Managing Director stated via letter to Edward Yan DDSrsquo Audit Manager dated March 17 2014 that ICT had additional documentation to provide that would support some of the billings A copy of the letter is enclosed as Attachment C

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

17

Also CCR title 17 section 50604(d) and (e) states

ldquo(d) All service providers shall maintain complete service records to support all billinginvoicing for each regional center consumer in the programhellip

(e) All service providersrsquo records shall be supported by source documentationrdquo

Recommendation ICT must reimburse to DDS the $9512869 for the unsupported billings In addition ICT should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support the amounts billed to RCEB

ICTrsquos Response Lani Fritts ICTrsquos Managing Director stated via letter to Edward Yan DDSrsquo Audit Manager dated March 17 2014 that ICT had additional documentation to provide that would support some of the billings A copy of the letter is enclosed as Attachment C

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

Attachment C

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

Attachment D

DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES EVALUATION OF

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Re Official Response to I Can Too Learning Center LLC Draft Audit Report

Dear Mr Yan

Thank you for the release of the draft audit report and the review conducted February 19 2014 with the I Can TooTrumpet Behavioral Health team

We have three fonnal responses to the draft report

bull For sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was

available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented

1050 hours of credit Ve believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employees schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessions This will significantly

increase the number of hours accepted Per a follow-up meeting withAl Kitay and Pardeep D eol on Tuesday March 41

h (prior to which we submitted significant data backshy

up regarding one specific consumer) we were given approval to submit that

documentation as back-up and receive credit for the additional hours VIe will provide a

separate addendum to this letter Nith the total ofhours consumers and $s that we plan to submit for which we are requesting inclusion

bull During the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that

counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (PO S) was not in the Sand Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill these services Per Aland Pardeeps suggestion Ve have found a

copy of the POS andor initial referral email for the consumer from the SARC service coordinator Ve intend to contact SARC directly to bill these services per A1 and Pardeeps advice but have also submitted these documents to you for review as well

bull More generally we b elieve that DDS should all ow payroll records (pay-stubs V-2s

etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cmmot be produced A record ofpayment to an employee for the same hours associated with a consumers services in a given month is a reasonable indication that a staff was paid for time (documented in our schedulingpayroll systems) as billable time spent with that particular consumer We believe this is a fair and reasonable proxy to those billable

In the 14 days foll owing the March 3rd follmv-up meeting we have been pulling together extensive payroll schedule and pay stub documenta6on to support the follow-up Ve request a 30 day extension of response (to April 19 20 14) to allow us to provide all remaining documentation By its nature thi s is a very time and energy intensive process- pulling data on hundreds of staffmembers hundreds of consumers across the 1-year audit time-frame and from several different source data systems We appreciate your consideration

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

As part of the audit process I Can Too Learning Center LLC (ICT) was afforded the opportunity to respond to the draft audit report and provide a written response to each finding identified therein The draft audit report was issued on February 11 2014 The Audit Branch received ICTrsquos response on March 17 2014

DDS evaluated ICTrsquos written response to the draft audit report upon receipt and determined that ICT disagreed with the audit findings DDS determined that although ICTrsquos response did not identify which programs were being discussed the comments were all in relation to Vendor Number HS0468 Provided below are excerpts from ICTrsquos response and DDSrsquo evaluation of the response (See Attachment C to the final audit report for the full text of ICTrsquos response)

Finding 1 Infant Development Program - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT argues the following in response to this finding

Unsupported Billing ldquoFor sessions in which some clinical documentation andor parent verification was available I Can Too was given only partial credit for sessions In total this represented 1050 hours of credit We believe pay record data associated with those sessions in which we can tie an employeersquos schedule to billed hours to their payroll stubs should constitute full allowance for the entirety of those sessionsrdquo

In instances where service billings were considered to be unsupported by DDS due to inadequate source documentation DDS did consider payroll records as support and gave ICT credit when it could tie the payroll to services provided to specific consumers An example is when source documentation included a date employee name and consumer name but no length of time for the session In this instance payroll was used to determine length of time for the session

ldquoDuring the audit exit meeting Al and Pardeep indicated that we had documentation that counted toward supported billing for several consumers during the months of the audit period but a purchase of service (POS) was not in the Sand [sic] Andreas Regional Center (SARC) system to bill those servicesrdquo

DDS determined that there was evidence that services were provided for which payment was not made by the regional center Further analysis revealed that the reason the payment was not received was that there was no authorization in the system CCR title 17 requires that before payments can be made the services must be authorized and the services must be provided Since the services were not authorized at the time of the audit DDS was unable to net those services against the unsupported services DDS suggested that ICT discuss those services with the regional center

I CAN TOOrsquoS RESPONSE

ldquoMore generally we believe that DDS should allow payroll records (pay-stubs W-2rsquos etc) to substantiate that sessions took place even when clinical source documentation cannot be producedrdquo

Billings are consumer specific while payroll is employee specific Payroll does not indicate whether a service was provided to a consumer Therefore without collaborating evidence it is unknown if direct consumer services were provided

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 12375 hours for Vendor Number HS0468 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 11) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented

Finding 2 ClientParent Support Intervention Training - Unsupported Billings and Failure to Bill

ICT did not provide an argument in response to this finding however the supporting documentation provided subsequently included support for finding 2 DDS accepted the additional documentation

DDSrsquo Conclusion

Subsequent to the receipt of this response ICT provided DDS with documents to support billings that were previously unsupported DDS accepted documents that supported an additional 8725 hours for Vendor Number PS0044 These adjustments are reflected in this report (See Attachment B Page 13) However ICTrsquos response did not address its policies and procedures going forward DDS recommends that ICT develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that proper documentation is maintained to support its billings to the regional centers A future audit may be conducted by DDS to ensure that DDSrsquo recommendation has been fully implemented
