Book Description
In fiscal year 2006, outlays for Medicaid were about $324 billion; about $185 billion was paid by the federal government. Because GAO previously identified abusive and criminal activity associated with government contractors owing billions of dollars in federal taxes, the subcommittee requested GAO expand our work to Medicaid providers. GAO was asked to (1) determine if Medicaid providers have unpaid federal taxes, and if so, the magnitude of such debts; (2) identify examples of Medicaid providers that have engaged in abusive or criminal activities; and (3) determine whether the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the states prevent health care providers with tax problems from enrolling in Medicaid or participating in the continuous levy program to pay federal tax debts. To perform this work, GAO analyzed tax data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Medicaid data from seven selected states based on magnitude of Medicaid payments and geography. GAO also performed additional investigative activities.

Book Description
"The Recovery Act increased the federal share of Medicaid funding. Federal law does not prohibit providers with tax debt from enrolling in Medicaid, but GAO's prior work found that thousands of Medicaid providers do have unpaid federal taxes. Since any provider who received Medicaid reimbursements during 2009 received Recovery Act funds, GAO was asked to (1) determine the magnitude of unpaid federal taxes owed by Medicaid providers reimbursed during 2009 in selected states; (2) provide examples of Medicaid providers who have sizeable unpaid federal taxes; and (3) evaluate opportunities and challenges related to collecting unpaid federal taxes through a levy process designed to offset Medicaid reimbursements.GAO compared Medicaid reimbursement information from three states to known IRS tax debts as of September 30, 2009. These states were among those that received the largest portion of Recovery Act Medicaid funding. To provide examples of Medicaid providers who have sizeable unpaid federal taxes, GAO conducted a detailed review of 40 Medicaid providers from the three states that had over $100,000 of federal tax debt. GAO's sample of three states and 40 cases cannot be generalized to all states and all Medicaid providers. GAO also reviewed relevant laws and reports and interviewed federal and state officials."
