PARIS Transmittal: 2025 – 07: PARIS Cost Avoidance Reporting

Publication Date: July 28, 2025

PARIS Member States

Every year, PARIS submits a high-level paragraph on its payment integrity efforts as part the HHS Agency Fiscal Report highlighting a few example states. We seek submissions of Fiscal Year 2024 PARIS outcomes from states. Specifically, we ask states to report: 

  1. Summarized information on cost savings/avoidance from PARIS over the last year.
    • This time period can be flexible as long the data range provided is shared in your response.
  2. Some supporting documentation for values given (i.e. a simple cost breakdown chart, etc.)
    • Some States generally use the numbers from their annual reports.
    • It does not have to be elaborate.  Values may have already been provided as you have worked through your monthly reports or annual reporting.

Submit by: August 24th COB to PARIS@ACF.HHS.GOV. Please include the subject ’State Cost Savings 2025’ in subject line of message before submitting.

If you need assistance or have questions about this request, please contact your regional PARIS Board point of contact
