CMS reimburses a portion of Medicare contractors’ supplemental executive retirement plan costs. The OIG examined whether the supplemental executive retirement plan costs that Group Health reported from 2009-16 were allowable and correct.
An audit of $874,007 supplemental executive retirement plan costs found that only $287,273 were allowable. The OIG said the overclaims were a result of Group Health not amortizing its lump-sum supplemental executive retirement plan payments.
In its response to the audit, Group Health said the OIG incorrectly incorporated ceiling rates in its analysis. The OIG maintained its findings.
