Increase audits vs decreasing services
 

The solution to the budget issues is increased oversight of services, increased auditing, and enforcement of the regulations with fines and obligations to pay back funds when services are misappropriated.    Hold the provider accountable not the consumer.  It is a sad day in Virginia when DMAS punishes a consumer for provider over utlization and inappropriate use of  a service.
