The 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 in order to provide some Federal overview of state eligibility determinations to ensure correctness and consistency among states and to use the State-specific error rates as the basis for calculating national eligibility error rates for Medicaid and SCHIP.
PL:
Pub.L. 107 - 300 2
Name of Law: The Improper Payments Information Act of 2002
Section 601 of the CHIPRA, among other things, requires a new final rule and aims to harmonize the PERM and MEQC programs and provides States with the option to apply PERM data resulting from its eligibility reviews for meeting MEQC requirements and vice versa, with certain conditions. CMS is submitting a new instrument in which we compile all of the information from the 48 forms into a format that will allow States to submit 12 forms for 12 months of eligibility data.
