Medicaid program; refunding of federal share of overpayments made to Medicaid providers--HCFA. Final regulations.
This rule amends the Medicaid regulations to specify the requirements and procedures under which States are allowed 60 days following the date of discovery of an overpayment to a Medicaid provider to recover or attempt to recover the overpayment before the Federal share must be credited to HCFA. The Federal Government will share in any overpayments that the State documents it is unable to recover because the debts of the provider have been discharged in bankruptcy or the provider is out of business. The regulations implement section 9512 of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985.
