Report Description:
Of the $374 million in managed care organization (MCO) recoveries, New Mexico appropriately refunded the Federal share for $359 million. However, New Mexico underreported the Federal share for the remaining $15 million by $4.4 million because (1) it incorrectly calculated the Federal share of recoveries related to Affordable Care Act (ACA) expansion population payments, which the Federal Government originally matched at 100 percent using the regular Federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP), and (2) it did not consider higher FMAPs, such as for Family Planning and Breast and Cervical Cancer, in its Federal share calculations for MCO recoveries of other beneficiary populations' payments.
