States would get new computer tools to fight Medicaid fraud and abuse.
This bill, called the SMART Act, would give all states new, standardized computer tools to help them find and stop fraud, waste, and abuse in their Medicaid programs. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would provide these tools and training, aiming to make Medicaid more secure and protect taxpayer money. This would create a uniform approach to fraud prevention across the country.
Today, there is no uniform requirement for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide standardized computer tools to all states for fighting Medicaid fraud. States may have different systems or capabilities. After this bill, the Secretary would be required to make these standardized tools available to all states within 180 days of the bill becoming law, along with training and support, creating a consistent national approach to fraud prevention.
