deficiencies, taken together, continue to place the
integrity and accountability of the Medicare program at
high risk.
This report is part of a special series entitled the
Performance and Accountability Series: Major
Management Challenges and Program Risks. The series
contains separate reports on 20 agencies-one on each of
the cabinet departments and on most major independent
agencies as well as the U.S. Postal Service. The series
also includes a governmentwide report that draws from
the agency-specific reports to identify the performance
and management challenges requiring attention across
the federal government. As a companion volume to this
series, GAO is issuing an update to those government
operations and programs that its work has identified as
"high risk" because of their greater vulnerabilities to
waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. High-risk
government operations are also identified and discussed
in detail in the appropriate performance and
accountability series agency reports.
The performance and accountability series was done at
the request of the Majority Leader of the House of
Representatives, Dick Armey; the Chairman of the House
Government Reform Committee, Dan Burton; the
Chairman of the House Budget Committee, John Kasich;
the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Governmental
Affairs, Fred Thompson; the Chairman of the SenateGAO/OCG-99-7 HHS Challenges
