timely and human cms identify qualified standards cms did not always resolve the problem. there were two macs that consistently underperformed but these macs have their options renewed. lastly cms is missing a critical opportunity to enlist millions of medicare beneficiaries in the fight against fraud. max medicare summary notices to beneficiaries to show them what medicare claims have been paid on their behalf. these notices can serve as a key fraud and detection tool when beneficiaries identify reports suspicious information contained on their msn's over the oig found over 4 million notices were not delivered to the beneficiary. further cms is not instructed maxson whether or how to track her follow up on delivery of msn's. it is critical that msn msn's be timely and properly delivered to beneficiaries. if just one beneficiary sees something suspicious on their noticed and reported to medicare it might lead to a fraud case it saves millions of dollars. in conclusion the oig recognizes the challenging jobs cms faces in the oversight of its contractors. oig has recommended

cms is taking a three-prong approach to testing. first, the internal testing that i just described of the claims processing system; second, we will be doing beta testing with this site and with tools for the provider community; and, third, end-to-end testing occurring over the summer into the fall. this week and next week, we are holding medicare testing week, allowing all providers, billing companies, clearinghouses, and others the opportunity too determine whether cms can accept claims. later this movement, we'll solicit volunteers to have end-to-end testing and the goal is to select 500 volunteers and test claims working were the max this accomplished. a lot of work will continue in education and training around this as well. most of you are aware, most of you have volunteers working with both state and federal based exchange, so as of enrollment comes to close sure on march 31st, we're already engagedded in work for next year. this includes work around the shop and also we'll be continues to make improvements in the site for ope

at this point cms isn't funding medi-cal only. it is for people who are medicare a and b and who aren't through managed hmo. what it provides is when people go to a hospital a lot of times people get rehospitalized because they don't understand their medication and plan and they don't have the transportation, ihh s, you make the it. there is a lot of things that can be put in place to prevent rehospitalization. it's a great program and we've started doing in takes since april. although this program has been in existence for a number of years, but because of the expansion of it because of cms funding we have been able to extend our program. something that we are starting to do this month on going which is a really big deal in my world is we are piloting rather than doing the in takes in house at dos, we are slowly rolling out our intake services for hospitals directly. the reason why we do transitional care service in takes is because most, ihss meals when those are in place, that helps to prevent rehospitalization. so in partnersh

there are new, empirical studies and new cms data. most importantly there are new congressional budget office analysis and budget forecasts. all of these are documented in that dobson report. taken together, this new information gives us even greater confidence that the force is transforming healthcare finance and delivery are structural and systematic. initially some suggested the slowdown was fueled by cyclical economic activity driven by the great depression -- great recession. although i'm sure some of like it was a great depression. new economic research suggests that the economy may have had an even smaller impact on health care spending than earlier felt. the report that we were released showed that sustained slowdown is adorable and additional savings are more likely to materialize but even as the economy continues its recovery. let's go to the numbers. i will start with the punch line . $900 billion in additional medicare savings is within reach if we stay the course. what do i mean, and what does this chart show? medicare sp

i don't think cms is hiding the ball. i think we just don't know.ook, i think this has also been exaggerated in the same way those death spiral quotes you played were exaggerated. if you talk to the insurance industry, they're saying, yes, not everybody is paying up but it's about eight in ten, about 80%. maybe that will come up over time. and, you know, we don't know what the actual decline in number of people without insurance is, but it does appear there's circumstantial evidence, not hard proof but circumstantial evidence we're starting to take a bite out of the uninsured and more people are getting covered. you know, the signs are reasonably good. i think avik is right to be cautious. we should have been cautious before. we should be cautious now. but, you know, a little, you know, a little bit of optimism seems in order. >> did you think they were going to hit this number? even the 5 million. forget if they get to 6 million. in the dark days, and it does seem to me like all the zach galifianakis. all this whether it seems goofy or not to folks

and these folks, from the cm s and health and human services and administration of the white house itself. they could screw up a vacant lot. the fact is, there is no penalty or way forward for them right now. this is, a law, and a system that that is not even truly set up and they have, it has taken them four years to get to this point of utter failure. i just don't know what to say. there is no reason to take it seriously at this point and there is no way to compel compliance. >> so in your opinion at this point, is there a possibility of seeing another delay and people will not have to pay the $95 fine or tax returns coming out. >> let me give you this guarantee. there is no way that will happen or won't be other delays and no way that there will not be further problems. there is no way as the president himself said that future historians will forgive this administration and this government for being utterly incompetent and trying to execute a massively complex law that was so poorly designed that even if this government were capable of being managed that they could have done so. >> i w

let's start first of all with cms.his is a report out of the bwal street journal the centers for medicaid and medicare services dropped at least for now to cover certain drugs including anti-depressants. as far as obamacare is concerned one of the companies associated with disastrous rollout of healthcare.gov is getting another big contract extension with the federal government. the deal was supposed to end this month. it just got a four-month extension bringing its share to $58 million. despite all of the changes to obamacare and all of the problems u.s. secretary of health and human services kathleen sebelius the law is on track. >> the affordable care act is upheld. if the president is re-elected as congressman said there have been 50 votes in the house of representatives to repeal the law. it is still the law of the land. we need to have people understand it runs out until 2015. >> the inspector general for health and human services they somehow consumed millions of dollars in federal subsidies and has been so disa

cms hasn't disclosed so many of the 5 million people have paid for their insurance, which is requiredollment to be official, obviously. it's estimated between 15% and 20% have not paid even on those other plans. 10% will end up not paying attention. the agency hasn't said what percentage of those folks who are signing up were previously uninsured. critics have claimed the bulk of enrollees are just re-insurancing. but we've seen polls from gallop that they have gotting new insurance. california said it reached the 20 misdemeanor mark. for them, the payment rate is at about 85%. so that gives you a sense of how it's working out across the country. >> speaking to the media, industry executive necessary san francisco, microsoft has had ipads and iphones in its office ready to go for the several months, but delayed releasing them due to internal divisions. the company gets around $2.5 billion in revenue by keeping its -- off the ipad. >>> and a report out of taiwan suggests apple is gearing up to produce the iphone 6. pegatron is reportedly expanding its factory space. >>> still to come,

cm e-trader james row medically is here.rney stuck around to mix it up because, especially when it is fed day, it is always about money. cheryl: let's bring in panel right now. we're awaiting fed decision melissa: what is the best thing she could do. >> announcing taper is over. wouldn't distort the credit markets and would be a healthy thing once people digested it. melissa: stuart, what do you think of that? >> i'm more middle of the road kind of guy. >> you're middle of road? >> see if i am. i expect janet yellen to announce she is staying on the program. she will reduce the printing of money by $10 billion next month and stay with the taper. i think that is what she will say and i think market will go up when she says it. melissa: who else do we have with us right now? gerald, can you hear us, gerald o'driscoll? i don't think he is with us yet. last time we've seen this, in '70s we saw a lot of inflation. in 2,000 we saw this and we saw a housing bubble. i wonder if we're building a stock market bubble and seeing it with

and then add on top of that that the cms official, gary kohn, had a question yesterday about whether,w, about how many people have gotten insurance didn't have it before. he didn't quite have the answer. take a listen. >> do you have a sense of how men a people are previously uninsured that are signing up? >> so, you know, we've heard some studies are being done to report, to try to get that information. again, that's not a data point that we're really collecting in any sort of systematic way. >> so they're not really sure how many people who have signed up for private insurance were previously uninsured before. some of the others have signed up for medicaid. gary kohn is stepping down. he's one of the officials before the botched rollout had repea d repeatedly told congress he thought things were going to go well. that obviously didn't work out, but he said yesterday in washington he thinks the enrollment numbers are up, the website has gotten better and there's a feeling at the white house has republicans have scheduled what according to democratic accounts are 51st repeal vote of a
