Sanctions for Collecting Payment From Members
Under state and federal laws, if a provider inappropriately collects payment from an enrolled member, or authorized person acting
on behalf of the member, that provider may be subject to program sanctions including termination of Medicaid enrollment. In
addition, the provider may also be fined not more than $25,000, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both, pursuant to 42
USC § 1320a-7b(d) or Wis. Stat. § 49.49(3m).
There may be narrow exceptions on when providers may collect payment from members.
