  • Entry into the provider network
  • The review of service providers in accordance with State and Federal Requirements.

The provider monitoring process is outlined in all the workbooks, and LME-MCO #J254 – Changes to the Agency Monitoring Process serves as the primary guidance moving forward.

The Provider Monitoring Webinar Project is a follow-up to workshops that were presented in February 2014 to introduce the new process and tools for routine provider monitoring that went live on March 1. 

The webinars address important aspects of the process in greater detail than was possible during the statewide workshops. They will be used by LME-MCOs to train their review teams on how to use the tools. Provider agencies will also use the tools as part of their internal quality assurance process. The webinars can be used as a self-audit to ensure ongoing compliance with the regulatory requirements that are the focus of the routine review.

The webinars are broken into modules. Each module discusses a key component of the process. Presenting the webinars in modules allows the LME-MCOs and providers to select the topic they want to review at a specific point, whether for in-service training or as a personal refresher. A script is provided for each webinar.
