On March 18, 2014, the OIG issued a report entitled “State Medicaid Agencies Can Significantly Reduce Medicaid Costs for Diabetic Test Strips.” The OIG highlighted examples of states that have saved millions of dollars through the use of rebates on blood glucose test strips. The OIG also estimated potential savings for state Medicaid agencies if they adopt competitive bidding for these supplies, or if they obtained pricing comparable to pricing under Medicare’s national mail-order competition for diabetic supplies. The OIG recommends that CMS work with state Medicaid agencies to determine whether the use of manufacturer rebates and lower provider reimbursement rates could achieve net savings for the purchase of blood glucose test strips. The OIG also has created a “spotlight” page to highlight fraud and waste associated with diabetes test strips, noting previous OIG action in this area, including special fraud alerts, enforcement actions, and inspection reports.
