* Results for the IPIA reporting year are based on Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) data for the 12-month period ending June 30 of the IPIA reporting year.
** 2010 estimates exclude Georgia BAM data, which could not be included due to coding and methodology issues, which were subsequently resolved. Georgia data are included in the 2011 estimates.
2011 results are preliminary, pending final accounting of outlays. Improper payment rates are also subject to change as states complete additional BAM cases or revise previously completed cases to reflect new information.
