 Texas Health Care Claims Study Special Report on Foster Children
The Texas Comptroller reviewed Medicaid claims submitted for foster
children in 2004 as part of a fraud audit. The comptroller referred
areas of potential fraud and abuse to the Texas Office of Inspector
General for further review. Based on the initial review, the
comptroller made 48 recommendations to improve the interactions and
cooperation between the Texas Department of Family and Protective
Services (DFPS) and physicians treating foster children. The key
recommendation is that the DPFS should hire a full-time medical
director to oversee the provision of health care for children in
foster care.
