Subject
Summary:

A dozen hospitals in the District of Columbia filed suit against the D.C. government in October 1990, contending that the District's Department of Human Services had shortchanged them by $46 million for inpatient hospital services over a five-year period. In a 1991 settlement, the District government agreed to pay the various claims. This fact sheet provides information on two aspects of the District of Columbia's Medicaid Program. GAO looks at (1) the causes of the legal action taken by D.C. hospitals against the Medicaid Program and (2) whether the District could be using federal Medicaid money to fund other District programs.
