Provider's signed statement as to accuracy of reports, etc. - Maintenance of records - Access to records - Confidentiality of records and information - Disclosure - Liability. A. No potential Medicaid recipient shall be eligible for medical assistance unless such recipient has, in writing, authorized the Oklahoma Health Care Authority and the Attorney General to examine all records maintained as required by the Oklahoma Medicaid Program by the recipient, or of those receiving or having received Medicaid benefits through the recipient, whether the receipt of such benefits would be allowed by the Oklahoma Medicaid Program or not. B. 1. Each application to participate as a provider in the Oklahoma Medicaid Program, each report stating income or expense upon which rates of payment are or may be based, and each invoice for payment for a good or a service provided to recipient, shall contain a statement that all matters stated therein are true and accurate, signed by the provider or his or her agent. Any person who signs this statement or causes another to sign this statement knowing the statement to be false shall be guilty of perjury. For purposes of this subsection, an individual who signs on behalf of a provider shall be presumed to have the authorization of the provider and to be acting at his or her direction. 2. All providers subject to the Oklahoma Medicaid Program are required to maintain at their or its principal place of Medicaid business all such records at least for a period of six (6) years from the date of claimed provision of any goods or services to any Medicaid recipient. C. The Attorney General shall be allowed access to all records of persons and Medicaid recipients under the Oklahoma Medicaid Program which are held by a provider or the Oklahoma Health Care Authority for the purpose of investigating whether any person may have committed the crime of Medicaid fraud, or for use or potential use in any legal, administrative, or judicial proceeding. In carrying out the purposes of the Oklahoma Medicaid Program Integrity Act, the Attorney General may take possession of records held by a provider by subpoena, in which case copies of those records obtained by the Attorney General which are necessary for the provider to continue doing business shall be supplied to the provider, or the Attorney General may elect to require that the provider supply the Medicaid fraud control unit within the office of the Attorney General with copies of the records. Upon request, the Attorney General shall be granted access to records, including electronic data, held by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority for the purpose of investigating whether any person or entity may have committed the crime of Medicaid fraud. D. Records obtained or created by the Authority or the Attorney General pursuant to the Oklahoma Medicaid Program Integrity Act shall be classified as confidential information and shall not be subject to the Oklahoma Open Records Act or to outside review or release by any individual except, if authorized by the Attorney General, in relation to legal, administrative, or judicial proceeding. E. No person holding such records may refuse to provide the Authority or the Attorney General with access to such records on the basis that release would violate any recipient's right of privacy, any recipient's privilege against disclosure or use, or any professional or other privilege or right. The disclosure of patient information as required by the Oklahoma Medicaid Program Integrity Act shall not subject any physician or other health services provider to liability for breach of any confidential relationship between a patient and a provider.
