MEDICAID PROVIDER-NETWORK INVESTIGATIONS

The provider is disposable.
The people behind it are not.

A shut-down billing entity often re-enrolls under a new name: same suite, same officers, same billing agent. Claim edits and NPI screens see a new provider. Marque links owners, addresses, phones, billing agents, exclusion lists and federal loan records to trace the new name to the old one.

01 / THE RE-ENROLLMENT PATTERN

Same suite.
Same officers. New name.

An entity is excluded or closes. Months later a new enrollee appears at the same suite, through the same billing agent, with an officer from the old one. Claim edits see a new provider. Marque links the two, and each link leads back to its source record.

EXCLUDED ENTITYNEW ENROLLEESOURCE RECORDOFFICER

Same officer and suite

A new enrollee names the same officer and suite as an entity excluded earlier. The exclusion record carried no NPI to match, so the link runs through the officer’s name and the suite.

Every entity is scored on ten signals. In the Program Integrity Engagement, the top of the register goes to investigators for field and open-source verification before anything is called a finding.
