Simpson, Regional Commissioner Social and Rehabilitation Service 'Department of Health, Education, and Welfare L1oness Room 808 - 433 W. Van Buren Street Chicago, Illinois 60607 Dear Mr. Simpson: As part of our continuing examination into the manner in which the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) is discharging its responsibilities relative to the federally assisted medical assistance program - Medicaid - the General Accounting Office has examined into the controls over payments made on behalf of certain Medicaid recipients who have an obligation to pay for a portion of their medical care. In your region, we examined into the adequacy of such adminis- trative controls at all levels (Federal, State, and local) as applied to the Medicaid program conducted in Illinois, and particularly in Cook County. Our review covered a total of 259 cases. Similar reviews have been conducted in California and Massachusetts and a consolidated report to the Congress is planned. The purpose of this letter is to bring to your atten- tion certain matters which may not be included in the consoli- dated report. NEED TO EXCLUDE FEDERAL PARTICIPATION IN COSTS OF PROVIDING MEDICAID SERVICES TO PERSONS WHO WERE ELIGIBLE FOR BUY-IN MEDICARE COVERAGE Until January 1, 1970, States could buy in--that is, they could enter into agreements to pay the premium charges under Part B of Medicare and provide coverage for all Medicaid recipients 65 and over. After January 1, 1970, Federal match- ing would not be available for any expenditures for Medicaid services that would have been provided to an individual by Medicare if the individual involved had been enrolled in the insurance program. 14W9~/4______
