DEFICIT REDUCTION ACT ATTESTATION
The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005, which went into effect January 1, 2007, required specific changes to states’
Medicaid programs. One of the changes is the requirement for employee education about false claims recovery.
Section 6032 of the DRA amended the Social Security Act, Title 42, United States Code, Section 1396(a) by inserting an
additional relevant paragraph (68). This paragraph is cited below; in summary it requires any entities that receive or
make annual payment under the Medicaid State Plan of at least five million dollars to have detailed, specific written
policies established about the Federal and State False Claims Acts for their employees, agents and contractors.
Specifically, §1396(a)(68) of the Social Security Act requires that any entity that receives or makes annual payments
under the State plan of at least $5,000,000, as a condition of receiving such payments, shall –
A. Establish written policies for all employees of the entity (including management), and of any contractor or
agent of the entity, that provide detailed information about the False Claims Act established under section
3729 through 3733 of title 31, United States Code [31 USCS §3729-3733], administrative remedies for false claims
and statements established under chapter 38 of title 31, United States Code [31 USCS §. 3801 et seq.], any State
laws pertaining to civil or criminal penalties for false claims and statements, and whistleblower protections
under such laws, with respect to the role of such laws in preventing and detecting fraud, waste, and abuse in
Federal health care programs (as defined in section 1128B(f)[42 USCS § 1320-7b(f)]);
B. Include as part of such written policies, detailed provisions regarding the entity’s policies and procedures for
detecting and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse; and
C. Include in any employee handbook for the entity, a specific discussion of the laws described in subparagraph
(A), the rights of the employees to be protected as whistleblowers, and the entity’s policies and procedures for
detecting and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse;
Effective January 1, 2007, all providers who meet the above conditions are required to certify that they are in
compliance with §1396(a)(68) of the Social Security Act as a condition of enrollment in the North Carolina Medicaid
Program.
As a North Carolina Medicaid provider, or the owner/ operator/ manager of a North Carolina Medicaid provider entity,
I certify that our entity has read and understands the above requirements. I also certify that if our entity receives or
makes annual payments under the State plan of at least $5,000,000 we have complied with and established written
policies and procedures that provide detailed information concerning the Federal False Claims Act, 31 USC 3729 et
seq., administrative remedies for false claims and statements established under 31 USCS §. 3801 et seq., and any North
Carolina State laws pertaining to civil or criminal penalties for false claims and statements, and whistleblower
protections under such laws, with respect to the role of such laws in preventing and detecting fraud, waste, and abuse
in Federal health care programs.
I further certify, when the above conditions apply, that our entity’s written policies include detailed provisions regarding
our policies and procedures for detecting and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse; and that our employee handbook
contains a specific discussion of the Federal and State False Claims Acts, the rights of the employees to be protected
as whistleblowers, and our policies and procedures for detecting and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse.
Copies of any and all training manuals, written policies and procedures for detecting and preventing fraud, waste,
and abuse, and employee handbooks will be maintained on-site for a minimum of five (5) years for inspection and
auditing by the Division of Medical Assistance.
