In September 2017, VA Inspector General Michael Missal issued a memorandum that listed four major "errors" that had resulted in excess payments to TriWest. These were:
 
* Duplicate Errors–PaymentsErrors{{snd}}Payments for medical claims that have been paid more than once
* Other Health Insurance (OHI) Errors–PaymentsErrors{{snd}}Payments that were not adjusted for the amount OHI was responsible to pay the provider
* Pass-Through Errors–PaymentsErrors{{snd}}Payments to reimburse the TPA that were more than the TPA paid the provider
* Rate Errors–PaymentsErrors{{snd}}Payments that did not use the appropriate Medicare or contract adjusted rate.
 
Missal stated in his memorandum that duplicate payments alone racked up almost $40 million in overpayments to TriWest.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Missal |first=Michael J. |date=12 September 2017 |title=Memorandum: Accuracy and Timeliness of Payments Made Under the Choice Program Authorized by the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act |url=https://www.va.gov/oig/pubs/admin-reports/VAOIG-17-00000-379.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201034417/https://www.va.gov/oig/pubs/admin-reports/VAOIG-17-00000-379.pdf |archive-date=1 December 2017 |url-status=live |publisher=US [[Department of Veterans Affairs]] |access-date=30 December 2022}}</ref>
