handle is hein.gao/gaobaazua0001 and id is 1 raw text is: .. 0p REPORT BY THE OtZ Comptroller General OF THE UNITED STATES Controls Over Medical Examinations Necessary For The Social Security Administration To Better Determine Disability In 1978 the Federal disability insurance pro- gram and the Supplemental Security Insur- ance program paid about $72 million for in- dependent medical examinations of persons claiming disability. The need for and quality of the medical information purchased is not well documented. Prograhn officials do not know how often State agencies have paid for independent med- ical examinations which were too comprehen- sive or were inadequate for determining dis- ability without further information. Meaningful program evaluation is limited fur- ther because: time and accuracy goals for pro- cessing claims do not consider the effect of one on the other; not all systems for meas- uring achievement provides reliable data; and the Social Security Administration has no means of measuring program efficiency. This eport responds to a request from the Chairman, Subcommittee on Social Security, Housei Committee on Ways and Means. 174J7 110551 HRD-79-119 OCTOBER 9, 1979 lt7
