Alabama Withdrew Excessive Federal Medicaid Funds for Fiscal Years 2010 Through 2012

摘要

To fund their Medicaid programs, States receive Federal grant awards that pay for the Federal share of their Medicaid medical and administrative expenditures. An external audit of the Federal fiscal year (FY) 2011 financial statements for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) determined that State Medicaid programs owed $1.3 billion to the Federal Government. We conducted an audit of Alabama because it had one of the highest amounts owed to the Federal Government. This is part of a series of reviews related to States Federal Medicaid withdrawals. The objective of this review was to determine whether Federal Medicaid funds that the Alabama Medicaid Agency (State agency) obtained for FYs 2010 through 2012 were supported by net expenditures.
