TAHCS counsel has discovered that the ZPIC
audits are NOT Random as previously indicated by the contractor.
These are Pointed Audits based upon supplier
billing practices and are designed to find fraud.
The Texas Counsel for ZPIC has indicated it was not their
intent to "strangle suppliers".
Guess they do not understand when withholding the
supplier's reimbursement, before they are found
guilty of wrongdoing, will have an impact on cash flow.
Unfortunately, the audit procedures and
100 % prepayment are having adverse
effects on small business.
Going to the penalty phase of the audit procedure
manages to skip all other reasonable methods
for correcting billing procedures, such as education,
as noted in the Integrity Manual.
Perhaps they are making the audit rules as they go along?
Meanwhile the ZPIC counsel has requested we submit our
questions thru our counsel.
