Improper Payments Information Act
(IPIA) of 2002 requires CMS to produce national error rates for
Medicaid and SCHIP. To comply with the IPIA, CMS needs the
information to be collected from States and providers in order to
sample and review adjudicated claims in a randomly selected number
of States. Based on the reviews, State-specific error rates will be
calculated which will be calculated which will serve as the basis
for calculating national error rates for Medicaid and
SCHIP.
