  Section  1.  Legislative  intent.  Other states have saved millions of

overpayments, and to ensure that Medicaid is billed for  eligible  inpa-
tient hospital and professional services.

TIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND  SERVICES  AND  STATE  CONTRACTED  MANAGED
CORRECTIONAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES.
  2.   THE  DEPARTMENT  SHALL  IMPLEMENT  AUTOMATED  PAYMENT  DETECTION,
PREVENTION, AND RECOVERY PROCEDURES TO ENSURE THAT  MEDICAID  IS  BILLED

THESE PROCEDURES MUST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT  LIMITED  TO,  CLINICAL  CODE
