REPORT BY THE



Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Family Planning Clinics Can Provide

Services At Less Cost But Clearer

Federal Policies Are Needed


In fiscal year 1980, the Department of Health
and Human Services spent about $375 million
for family planning services through several
programs. The Department could reduce the
costs of such programs and make services less
costly and more attractive to clients without
compromising quality care by eliminating un-
necessary medical procedures or tests. The
cost of the title X program could be further
reduced by more vigorously enforcing fee col-
lections to ensure that only needy persons re-
ceive free or subsidized services, Also, the
Department needs to resolve conflicts in fee
policies between the title X program, which
requires fee collections from persons with
ability to pay, and the title XX program, which
permits free service regardless of client income.
