  1. Spending Reduction Target
    • The Office of the Medicaid Inspector General’s  (OMIG) current-year savings target is $3.5 million, reflecting the Governor’s order for a 10.35 percent reduction in projected agency spending. The Office is currently expected to achieve its entire $3.5 million spending reduction target.
  2. Major Savings Initiatives
    • The Office is already in the process of implementing the following actions to achieve its savings target by:
    • Reassessing the timing of new hires, managing vacancies and limiting non-personal service expenditures to critical needs and evaluating the use of existing contracts.  OMIG expects that it will have a year-end workforce fill level of 679, a reduction from its initial target of 753 FTEs.  OMIG plans to fill up to the 753 target in 2009-10.  These are auditor and investigator positions needed to achieve the budgeted audit savings target.
