Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

We recommend that the OMS define the purpose of the Plan One reimbursement schedule.

We recommend that the OMS provide applicants with data from the survey they develop with the Office of Strategic Information, Research and Planning that shows average out-of-pocket costs that applicants have incurred in fulfilling the Peace Corps Medical Clearance requirements.

We recommend that the OMS Health Information Systems Unit establish criteria by which to assess the adequacy of the reimbursement fee schedule by 2008.

We recommend that immediately after establishing the assessment criteria, the OMS Health Information System Unit assess the adequacy of the current Plan One reimbursement fee schedule and adjust the schedule accordingly.

We recommend that the OMS Health Information Systems Unit establish a procedure by which they re-evaluate the adequacy of the reimbursement fee schedule biennially or as new screening requirements are implemented.
