Medicare and Medicaid program; withholding the federal share of payments to recover Medicare or Medicaid overpayments--HCFA. Final rule.
These final regulations facilitate HCFA's recovery of Medicare and Medicaid overpayments. Some institutions or persons that participate (or have participated) in both programs have received a Medicare or Medicaid overpayment which cannot be recovered under that program. Under expanded statutory authority (Section 905 of Pub. L. 96-499 and section 2104 of Pub. L. 97-35), HCFA has authority to withhold the Federal share of Medicaid payments in order to recover Medicare overpayments and to withhold Medicare payments to recover Medicaid overpayments.
