Ohio Medicaid audit proposes savings and broader oversight
The Coopers & Lybrand review titled Report of Phase 1 of Financial Management Reviews of Medicaid in Ohio suggests state savings of 28 to 42.5 million if all measures are adopted. The HEW report calls for extensive audits of hospitals and nursing homes serving welfare patients and spans from 1967 to 1975. It notes 3.3 million in state overpayments to hospitals from 1971 to 1974 and urges cost reporting for out of state providers and stronger audit capacity.
