Information Collection Request Title:
State Medicaid Fraud Control Units’
Reports.
OMB No.: 0990–0162.
Abstract: Office of Inspector General
(OIG) is requesting an extension by
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) of approval for the collection of
information to comply with the
requirements in Title 19 of the Social
Security Act at 1903(q), 42 CFR 1007.15,
and 42 CFR 1007.17, in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. The
information collected consists of fifty
separate annual reports and fifty
separate application requests for
certification/recertification of State
Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCU).
The collection is required by the statute
DATES:
and submitted yearly to OIG by the fifty
MFCUs. OIG uses the information
collected to determine the MFCUs’
compliance with Federal requirements
and eligibility for continued Federal
financial participation (FFP) under the
Federal MFCU grant program.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Public Law 95–142, the
Medicare-Medicaid Anti-Fraud and
Abuse Amendments, was enacted in
1977 to strengthen the capabilities of
Federal and State governments to
combat and eliminate fraud and abuse
in Medicaid, through the establishment
of the MFCUs. This law amended
section 1903 of the Social Security Act
to establish operating requirements for
MFCUs and provide FFP to State
governments for the cost of establishing
MFCUs, training State personnel, and
keeping the MFCUs operational.
Under section 1903(q)(7), each MFCU
must annually submit to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services (Secretary)
an application and annual report
containing information that the
Secretary determines is necessary to
certify the MFCU as meeting the
requirements for FFP. FFP is available
only for activities directly related to the
investigation and prosecution of health
care providers suspected of committing
Medicaid fraud. The MFCUs also review
complaints of alleged abuse or neglect of
patients and the misuse of patients’
personal funds in health care facilities.
OIG reviews the information collected
to ensure that Federal matching funds
are expended by MFCUs only for
allowable costs. In addition, OIG
analyzes each MFCU’s submission to
determine whether there is a need for
OIG technical assistance and to
establish priorities for onsite reviews to
further monitor program activities.
Likely Respondents: State Medicaid
Fraud Control Units.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
