Report Description:
Some of the bonus payments that Alaska received for the audit period were not allowable in accordance with Federal requirements. Most of the data used in Alaska’s bonus payment calculations were in accordance with Federal requirements. However, Alaska overstated its fiscal years 2009 through 2013 current enrollment in its bonus requests to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) because it included individuals who did not qualify because of their basis-of-eligibility (BOE) category. CMS guidance instructed States to include in their current enrollment only individuals whom the State identifies and reports as having a BOE of "child" in the Medicaid Statistical Information System, which are BOE categories 4, 6, and 8. In addition to these three BOE categories, Alaska incorrectly included individuals from BOE 2, "Blind and Disabled."
