Report on the Fiscal Year 1989 Evaluation of the Alternate Use of CHAMPUS Funds at the U.S. Air Force Hospital, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma
Abstract
This is our final report on the audit of the FY 1989 Evaluation of the Alternate Use of CHAMPUS Funds at the U.S. Air Force Hospital, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma (Tinker Hospital). The overall objective of our audit was to determine whether the obstetrical/gynecological (OB/GYN) test project at Tinker Hospital would, if implemented, reduce the costs of the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS). We also evaluated applicable internal controls established to identify, document, and monitor costs relating to the proposed medical project. The audit was made from September 1989 through July 1990 at the direction of Congress. We visited the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Financial Management and Comptroller), and the Air Force Logistics Command to monitor the status of the OB/GYN project. The audit covered the project's operations from June through September 1989. A representative from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) assisted the audit team in monitoring the OB/GYN project and in performing this audit.
