As I have mentioned previously in this space, Indiana's Family and Social Services Administration restarted its audit of waiver providers.  In addition to performing new audits, audits that were appealed under the old system were to be reviewed using the new standards and revised recoupment requests issued based upon these reviews. 

 Although it was not clear exactly how these new standards differed, and, frankly, many providers believed there were no changes, it appears that the review is resulting in changes to recoupment requests.  The revised requests have started arriving in provider’s mail boxes.  (Actually, some began arriving last week and earlier, Merry Christmas.)  So far, the providers who have received revised recoupment requests have discovered the requested recoupment is significantly lower than the previous request.  Although this does not mean that every provider will benefit in this way, it does provide hope that the new audit process will be more fair to providers.
