-
Medicaid fraud, waste and abuse cost states and the federal government billions of dollars annually.
|
Fraud, waste and abuse in the Medicaid program divert taxpayer dollars that otherwise would be spent on legitimate health care. These practices also can subject patients to ineffective, unnecessary or even harmful testing and treatments. In order to ensure proper expenditure of public funds and improve the quality of health care, states are at the forefront of preventing, detecting and deterring improper practices and payments.
