Reports
Part D Plans Generally Include Drugs Commonly Used by Dual Eligibles: 2019 (OEI-05-19-00220)
Overall, we found that the rate of Part D plan formularies' inclusion of the 196 drugs commonly used by dual eligibles is high, with some variation. On average, Part D plan formularies include
97 percent of the 196 commonly used drugs. In addition, 72 percent of the commonly used drugs are included by all Part D plan formularies. These results are largely unchanged from OIG's findings in our mandated annual report from 2018, as well as from the
findings in our reports from 2011 through 2017.

The Food and Drug Administration Generally Complied With Federal Requirements for the Preparation and Receipt of Select Agent Shipments (A-03-16-00354)
Generally, FDA has designed and put in place controls to ensure that select agent shipments are prepared and received in accordance with Federal regulations and related supporting laboratory guidance
and instruction. However, 8 of FDA's 11 registered entities' security plans did not include certain procedures for notifying the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) if a select agent shipment is not received within 48 hours after the expected delivery time
or a select agent shipment receives damage to the extent that a select agent release may have occurred, and none of FDA's registered entities' security plans included certain procedures for notifying FSAP if an authorization for a select agent transfer expires
or becomes void before the shipment is completed. In addition, we found that FDA's registered entities did not always maintain required select agent training documentation and did not have sufficient policies to ensure compliance with all new requirements
for shipping select agents that have undergone inactivation.

Recommendation Followup: Delaware Is Reporting Medicaid Overpayments In Compliance With Federal Requirements (A-03-17-00203)
A previous OIG report found that, in 2009 and 2010, Delaware did not comply with Federal requirements to report all Medicaid overpayment collections. The report had five recommendations that were
still unimplemented as of June 30, 2017.
Our objective was to determine whether Delaware implemented recommendations from our previous review and is in compliance with Federal requirements for reporting Medicaid overpayments.
