EST MONDAY, MAR25J95 STATEMENT OF MICHAEL ZIMMERMAN ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE UNITED STATES SENATE ON EFFORTS NEEDED TO RELIEVE MEDICAID FROM PAYING FOR SERVICES COVERED BY PRIVATE INSURERS Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: We are pleased to be here today to discuss efforts to reduce Medicaid costs by identifying and collecting from private health and liability insurance companies when they are legally liable to pay for services received by Medicaid recipients. On February 12, 1985, we issued a report entitled Improved Efforts Needed to Relieve Medicaid from Paying for Services Covered by Private Insurers (GAO/HRD-85-10). To assess state effectiveness in identifying and using available insurance resources, we reviewed state practices in California, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. These states account for about 23 percent of Medicaid spending. We also did limited work on recovery from liability insurance companies in New York. We discussed the results of our audit work with officials of these states and incorporated their views in our report. O l/ 11111MIIi I 126525
