13.3  Detection

Program Integrity detection includes maintaining and reviewing a number of sources to detect potential red flags that may require further inspection. This information is available either annually, quarterly, or at any time, depending on the source.

·        Initiate a case closure to prevent further improper payments;

·        Refer the case to BRITS for fraud investigation;

·        Process an overpayment; and/or

·        Process an IPV.
