The Office of Programs should request that the Department of Health and Human Services provide a footnote in the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 reporting section of either the Department of Health and Human Services' or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Agency Financial Report to provide the Railroad Medicare program improper payment rate and estimated improper payments in their future years reporting. If the Department of Health and Human Services does not agree, the Railroad Retirement Board should include the improper payment rate and amount from the Comprehensive Error Rate Testing report for the Railroad Medicare program in future Railroad Retirement Board Performance and Accountability Reports to ensure transparency and compliance with the enterprise risk management framework.
