Common mistakes

  1. Incomplete Contact Information: Failing to provide complete contact details for both the staff submitting the referral and any witnesses can delay the investigation process.

  2. Incorrect Provider Information: Submitting inaccurate details about the provider, such as the Texas ID Number or license number, can lead to confusion and misdirected inquiries.

  3. Neglecting to Specify the Type of Fraud: Not clearly identifying the type of suspected fraudulent activity, such as billing irregularities or record falsification, may hinder the investigation's focus.

  4. Omitting Dates of Fraudulent Activity: Failing to provide specific dates or date ranges for the suspected fraudulent activities can make it difficult for investigators to establish a timeline.

  5. Inadequate Description of the Fraud: Providing a vague or overly brief description of the suspected fraudulent activity does not give investigators enough context to understand the situation.

  6. Not Notifying Law Enforcement: If law enforcement has been involved, failing to include this information can lead to missed opportunities for collaboration on the investigation.

  7. Ignoring Follow-up Actions: Not indicating whether corrective actions or recoupment requests were made can obscure the seriousness of the situation and the steps taken to address it.
