Medicaid fraud remains a priority as CMS looks to tighten payment financing
A California man received a 30-year sentence for a large Medicaid fraud scheme, while Minnesota continues a high-profile Medicaid case.
The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is turning its focus to how Medicaid payments are financed as part of broader anti-fraud efforts. Recent developments include a California defendant being sentenced to 30 years for a massive healthcare fraud operation. Meanwhile, Minnesota is still dealing with a prominent Medicaid lawsuit that has attracted national attention.
Why it matters
