(Recovery of Federal Share of Medicaid Overpaymmnts]. Cctober
27, 1978. 2 pp. + enclosure (1 pp.).
Report to Robert A. Derzon, Administrator, Bealth Care financing
Administration; by Robert B. Iffert, Jr., Assistant Director,
Human Resources Div.
CoLtact: Human Resources Div.
Organization Concerned: New York: Office of the Special
Prosecutor.
Authority: P.L. 95-142.
One New York office responsible for cc3lecting
overpayments for medicaid providers is the Office of Special
Prosecutor. This office has over 400 professional employees and
about 140 clerical and support staff invclved in ccllecting
overpayments and prosecuting providers who defraud the program.
As of September 30, 1978, $3.8 million of medicaid overpayments
had been collected, and interest earned on these collected funds
was $301,187. All of these collected funds have been deposited
in a special, interest-bearinq account controlled by the State
Comptroller's Office, but none of the funds have been returned
to the Federal Government. According tc State medicaid
officials, return of the Federal share has been delayed because
state and local officials have been unable to agree on a formula
for distributing to each local government its proporticnate
share of the recovered funds. State cfficials advised that the
Federal share would be adjusted on the Statement of Expenditures
for the quarter ended September 30, 1978. The Administrator of
the Health Care Financing Administration should require that:
the appropriate adjustment or recoupment is made for the
collected funds, including interest, on the September 30, 1978,
Statement of Expenditures; and the Federal Government be given
timely credit for its share of future collections. (aRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobacxsa0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
