Description

Statement of Carolyn L. Yocom and Kathleen M. King, Directors, Health Care, GAO. In 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) had improper payments of $21.9 billion and almost $43 billion, respectively -- among the largest for all federal programs. Both health care programs are on GAOäó»s list of high-risk programs. With 51 distinct state-based programs, Medicaid has complex challenges for finding the appropriate balance between state and federal efforts. Medicare uses contractors to help administer the program and CMS must oversee their efforts. This statement examines the progress made and important steps still to be taken in these programs. It focuses on four key strategies and recommendations that were designed to facilitate them that were identified in prior work and that could help reduce improper payments. Tables. This is a print on demand report.
