REPORT OF THE

OF THE UNITED STATES


Delays In Processing Medicare

Part B Payments To Program

Participants In Florida






Department of Health, Education, and Welfare






Although the carrier processed 94 percent of
claims within 60 days, thousands of Florid-
ians encountered long delays in getting claims
processed--237,000 claims took over 60 days
to process and 104,000 of these took over 90
days.

GAO believes that the fundamental reason for
delays in processing has been a lack of atten-
tion by management to achieving satisfactory
resolutions of those claims which could not
be routinely processed.
