Require Medicaid Fraud Control Units to actively identify and recover improper Medicaid payments and improve coordination across agencies to close fraud gaps.

The Medicaid Integrity Improvement Act replaces passive reporting with active accountability by requiring Medicaid Fraud Control Units to focus on identifying and recovering improper payments rather than simply conducting and documenting audits. Combined with stronger coordination across agencies, this bill closes the gaps fraudsters have exploited and moves us closer to our goal of complete integrity and reliability in the program.

Joyce says his Medicaid Integrity Improvement Act would require Medicaid Fraud Control Units to focus on identifying and recovering improper payments and would strengthen interagency coordination to close Medicaid fraud gaps.
