According to the agency’s fall semiannual report, the agency issued 65 audits with an expected $82.7 million in recoveries between April and September 2023.

The agency did not request the full estimated repayment amounts from the MA plans it audited in 2023 because of a CMS ruling that prevents the agency from extrapolating payments before contract year 2018.

Here are 10 plans audited by CMS in 2023:

  1. Geisinger Health Plan
    Received an estimated $6.5 million in overpayments in 2016 and 2017.
