Abstract: Payment Error Rate Measurement (PERM) is established to comply with Improper Payment Information Act (IPIA) of 2002. The program measures improper payments in both Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Each PERM cycle will measure payment errors in 17 randomly selected states, so that each state will be measured once every three years. PERM measure three components in each program: fee-for-service, managed care, and eligibility. The payment error in the three components will be combined to calculate an annual payment error rate in Medicaid and CHIP.
