The District of Columbia Claimed Some Day Treatment Program Services That Were Not in Compliance With Federal or District Requirements

The District of Columbia's (District) Day Treatment Program (DTP) began in 1984 and was repealed in January 2016. District regulations defined the the DTP as "a nonresidential program operated for the purpose of providing medically supervised day treatment services for elderly persons, children from birth through age three (3), or adults with a developmental disability, and adults with mental disorders." Other OIG reviews showed that States' Medicaid claims for day treatment services did not always comply with Federal and State requirements.
