The form HCFA-64, Quarterly Medicaid
Statement of Expenditures for the Medical Assistance Program, has
been used since January 1980 by the Medicaid State agencies to
report their actual program benefit costs and administrative
expenses to the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). HCFA
uses this information to compute the Federal financial
participation (FFP) for the State's Medicaid Program costs. The
form HCFA-64 has been modified over the years to incorporate
legislative, regulatory, and operational changes. At this time, we
are not requesting any revisions to the existing Office of
Management....
