805.1In order to ensure that the treatment provided and paid for with Medicaid funds is of the highest quality and fully meets all standards for Medicaid reimbursement, each participating FSMHC shall maintain Medicaid patient records and individualized treatment plans in a manner that will render them amenable to audit and review by authorized federal, state, and DHS mental health and Medicaid personnel.
805.2The requirements of §805.1 shall not infringe upon any protections of the law regarding confidentiality, but shall ensure mandated access to the necessary records as provided for in both federal and District law.
805.3The participating FSMHC shall maintain, and make available upon request by authorized federal and local Medicaid personnel, complete financial records covering its operations. Federal regulations governing Medicaid reimbursement require audits and reviews to support reimbursements.

805.5All medical records shall be retained in accordance with D.C. law.
