Alaska Incorrectly Claimed Medicaid Expenditures for Indian Health Service Facilities on the CMS-64

For the period October 2007 through September 2014, we determined that the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (State agency) overstated the Federal share of Indian Health Service Medicaid expenditures on the CMS-64.9 by $1.4 million. These errors occurred because the State agency did not have adequate review procedures to identify data entry errors in the supporting documents of the CMS-64.
