In June, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) released Report No. A-07-18-02815 summarizing OIG’s findings of an audit assessing the discrepancy in Medicare payments to provider-based facilities versus freestanding facilities in calendar years 2010 through 2017 in eight selected states.

OIG’s audit covered $3.95 billion in actual payments that Medicare and Medicare beneficiaries made for evaluation and management (E&M) services they received at provider-based facilities in the selected states. Those states were California, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New York and Texas.
