Description:The costs of Medicaid-the federal-state program financing health care for about 60 million low-income people-totaled about $317 billion in fiscal year 2005. Increasing budgetary pressures have created tension between the states and the federal government, in part because some states have used inappropriate financing arrangements to collect federal matching funds when payments were not retained by the providers. In August 2003, the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began an initiative to end inappropriate arrangements. GAO was asked to examine the (1) number, and fiscal effects, of states ending particular financing arrangements; (2) extent to which CMS's initiative represents a change in agency approach or policy; and (3) transparency and consistency of the initiative. For states ending arrangements, GAO surveyed state officials, reviewed CMS documents, and interviewed CMS and state officials.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
