     Pursuant to a request from Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight

and Investigations, House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
we reviewed HEW and States compliance with section 1903(g) of the Social

Security Act.

      Section 1903(g)(1) requires each State to submit a quarterly

 showing (certification) that it has an effective program of utilization

 control over long-term institution care. HEW must validate States'

 certifications by at least conducting on-site sample surveys at medical

 facilities with Medicaid recipients.

      We have-det-ermi-ned- that:

      -All States except Delaware have submitted all required certifications

        of compliance for the quarters starting April I and July 1, 1976.

        As a result, Delaware's grant award for long-term care in mental

        hospitals were reduced for the quarter starting April 1, 1976.

      -HEW has sent disallowance letters to three States indicating a total

        amount of $122,371 to be reduced from the States' grant awards

        for not submitting the required certifications for the fiscal

        year 1975 validation survey.

      -HEW should request more information from States as evidence of

        having an effective program of utilization control.

      -The HEW validation survey for fiscal year 1975 was very limited

        in scope.
