Agency for Health Care Administration Continues Efforts to Control Medicaid Fraud and Abuse

Report 11-22, December 2011




Report Summary

  • The Agency for Health Care Administration continues to coordinate efforts to prevent and detect fraud and abuse in its Medicaid fee-for-service and managed care programs. It oversees fraud and abuse prevention and detection in Medicaid managed care by requiring plans to perform specific fraud and abuse activities and by monitoring to ensure that plans comply with these requirements. For fee-for-service, the agency follows a systematic process to identify and investigate providers who are suspected of overbilling.
  • The agency has reduced the time it takes to recover overpayments from providers and has increased the fines and penalties imposed for provider overbilling.
