Reporting Graduate Medical Education Costs.

Abstract

DoD medical treatment facilities utilize the Medical Expense and Performance Reporting System (MEPRS) for performing health care cost accounting functions. MEPRS provides costs by cost center, functional area, and program. The medical treatment facilities also maintain and rely on their respective Military Department financial systems for managing funds. MEPRS does not support financial systems maintained by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. The audit focused on the accuracy of the Graduate Medical Education (GME) costs shown in MEPRS. DoD conducts GME programs at 27 medical treatment facilities, 15 of which are designated as medical centers. In FY 1995, the 15 medical centers reported $125.6 million in costs for GME in MEPRS.
