Report Date Aug. 7, 1992
Report No. NSIAD-92-277
Subject
Summary:

The State Department may not be recovering medical insurance benefits sent to insured employers and their families for medical expenses already paid for by the government. The three embassies GAO visited lack adequate procedures, and the State Department has no centralized accounting and monitoring systems to track overseas medical expenses to ensure that claims are filed by insured employees and dependents, reimbursements are received from insurers, and recoverable expenses are remitted to the government. As a result, the government may be losing large amounts of money.
