Oversight and Effectiveness of Medicaid Waivers

More States are using waivers to alter their Medicaid program in significant ways. Oversight of State waiver programs present challenges to ensure that payments made under the waivers are consistent with regards to efficiency, economy, and quality of care and do not inflate Federal costs. We will determine the extent to which selected States made use of Medicaid waivers and if costs associated with the waivers are efficient, economic, and do not inflate Federal costs. We will also look at Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services oversight of State Medicaid waivers.
