Abstract: This final rule implements provisions from the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA) with regard to the Medicaid Eligibility Quality Control (MEQC) and Payment Error Rate Measurement (PERM) programs. This final rule also codifies several procedural aspects of the process for estimating improper payments in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
