California Did Not Bill Manufacturers for Rebates for Physician-Administered Drugs Dispensed to Enrollees of Some Medicaid Managed-Care Organizations 

From April 1 through December 31, 2010, the California Department of Health Care Services (State agency) did not always comply with Federal Medicaid requirements for billing manufacturers for rebates for physician-administered drugs dispensed to enrollees of Medicaid managed-care organizations (MCOs). For the 20 MCOs we reviewed, the State agency billed for rebates for physician-administered drugs dispensed by 7 MCOs. However, the State agency did not bill for rebates for physician-administered drugs dispensed by the remaining 13 MCOs.
