States would audit Medicaid providers more often to fight fraud.
This bill would require state offices that fight Medicaid fraud to conduct annual audits of high-risk healthcare providers. The goal is to find and stop fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicaid programs. This means more regular checks on providers who might be misusing the system.
Right now, state Medicaid fraud control units are checked each year. However, they are not federally required to do yearly audits of high-risk providers. If this bill becomes law, these units would need to perform yearly audits of a good sample of high-risk providers and suppliers. This would start about one year after the bill is signed into law. They would also have to report on these audit findings every year.
