Medicaid program: Medicaid eligibility quality control program--HCFA. Response to comments on final rule.
This document responds to public comments received by the Department on a final rule issued on May 31, 1990, relating to the Department's decision not to publish regulations on the basis of the results of congressionally mandated studies of the quality control systems for the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program and the Medicaid program. The purpose of the studies, which were required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, was to examine how best to operate quality control systems in order to obtain information which would allow program managers to improve the quality of administration and provide reasonable data on which to base withholding Federal matching payments for excessive levels of erroneous State payments.
