Dear Mr. Toby:

     During our(review of the New York State Medicaid System for
reimbursing costs of nursing hom  ,r   performed audits for the
calendar year 1973 at the Village  ursing Home, the A. Holly
Patterson Home for Nassau County Aged and Infirm, and the JIGC
Nursing Home Co., Inc.  During these audits we questioned certain-
costs which we believe were improperly charged by the three nursing
homes to the Medicaid program.  The specific costs we questioned
are shown below.  We also comment below on related aspects of some
of these questioned costs as well as the action taken by New York
State.

   Village Nursing Home, New York, N.Y.

   --Administrative costs exceeding State limits      $38,249

   --Overstated telephone expense                       2,052

   --Overstatement of medical supplies expense          7,800

   --Improperly reported revenue                       10,870

                                                      $58,971

   After advising State officials that we had questioned certain
costs claimed at the Village Nursing Home, the New York State Bureau
of Provider Audit performed a multiyear audit at that Home, and
disallowed $329,000 in costs for calendar years 1971 and 1972.
