Federal Reports

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) administers the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU or Unit) grant awards, annually recertifies the Units, and oversees the Units' performance in accordance with the requirements of the grant. As part of this oversight, OIG conducts periodic onsite reviews of all Units and prepares public reports based on these reviews. The reviews assess the Units' adherence to the 12 MFCU performance standards and compliance with applicable Federal statutes and regulations.

In accordance with our annual plan, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted a performance audit of the security of the United States Capitol Police’s (USCP or the Department) mobile device program. The objectives of this audit were to determine if USCP (1) established adequate internal controls and processes for ensuring security over Department-issued mobile devices, and (2) complied with applicable policies and procedures as well as applicable laws, regulations, and best practices. The scope of the audit included controls, processes, and operations during Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 through January 2016. 

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (State agency) did not always calculate supplemental payments made to the University of Texas (UT) health institutions in accordance with Federal and State requirements. Specifically, the supplemental payment calculations included overstated Medicare equivalent fees for claims that included payment modifiers and diagnostic test modifiers, Medicaid services that were performed by ineligible providers, and Medicaid services that did not have Medicare equivalent fees. As a result, the State agency claimed $57.9 million (Federal share) in unallowable supplemental payments made to the UT health institutions for the period May 1, 2004, through September 30, 2007.
