Report To The Secretary Of

Health And Human Services







Federal Oversight Of State Medicaid

Management Information Systems

Could Be Further Improved


Federal management and oversight of State
Medicaid Management Information Systems
has improved since GAO's last review in 1978.
However, the accuracy and completeness of
system evaluations could be improved by
adding certain evaluation criteria not now
included, such as economy of operation and
the contributions of surveillance and utiliza-
tion review activities. Better guidance on how
certain personnel costs should be allocated
by the States would improve the accuracy of
system cost reporting. Better enforcement of
regulations requiring prior Federal approval
or prior notice of certain equipment and serv-
ice acquisitions would help to assure that
system changes and improvements are needed,
cost effective, and entitled to enhanced Fed-
eral! funding.
