【 摘 要 】

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on states' practices regarding Medicaid reimbursement of school-based administrative activities, focusing on: (1) the extent to which school districts and states claim Medicaid reimbursement for school-based health services and administrative activities; (2) the appropriateness of methods states use to establish bundled rates for school-based health services and to assess the costs of administrative activities that their schools may claim as reimbursable; (3) states' retention of federal Medicaid reimbursement for services provided by schools and schools' practice of paying contingency fees to private firms; and (4) the adequacy of the Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA) oversight of state practices regarding school-based claims, including safeguards employed to ensure appropriate billing for health services and administrative activities."
