◆ In a new provider compliance audit,[1] the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) said The Palace at Home, a for-profit home health care agency (HHA) in Miami, Florida, was overpaid $30,387 for services provided in 2015 and 2016. OIG audited a stratified random sample of 100 claims and found errors on 20. OIG contended the beneficiaries were not homebound or didn’t require skilled care. “On the basis of our sample results, we estimated that The Palace received overpayments of at least $731,304 for the audit period,” OIG said. In a written response, the HHA disputed OIG’s findings.
