The OIG has created a “Spotlight” page on its internet site focusing on “Medicaid: State Policies that Result in Inflated Federal Costs.” The page compiles OIG reports that highlighted “State policies that distort the cost-sharing arrangement, causing the Federal Government to pay more than its share of Medicaid expenditures.” According to the OIG, such mechanisms do not increase benefits to beneficiaries, but they increase states’ funds at the expense of the federal government. The OIG discusses steps that have been taken to close loopholes in this area, but it notes that more work remains. The OIG continues to recommend that CMS seek legislation to strengthen its ability to curb wasteful federal spending stemming from states claiming reimbursement for excessive payments.
