New York Complied with Federal Requirements to Report Medicaid Overpayment Collections for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2011.

摘要

Pursuant to Title XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act), the Medicaid program provides medical assistance to certain low-income individuals and individuals with disabilities. The Federal and State Governments jointly fund and administer Medicaid. At the Federal level, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administers Medicaid. Each State administers its Medicaid program in accordance with a CMS-approved State plan. Although the State has considerable flexibility in designing and operating its Medicaid program, it must comply with applicable Federal requirements. In New York State, the State agency administers the Medicaid program.
