What it does
The bill gives more money to fight fraud from 2027 through 2029 and beyond. Money goes to the Departments of Health and Human Services and Justice. Money also goes to the FBI and the Medicare Integrity Program. The HHS Inspector General can now investigate fraud in Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA programs. Fraud prevention can include talking to the public. The bill tells the GAO to study if these programs work.
Who it affects
People who use Medicare and Medicaid benefit when fraud is caught. Taxpayers benefit because less money is wasted. The bill does not change what people can get from these programs.
One thing to notice
The bill asks the GAO to study if fraud prevention works. It does not say what happens if the study shows programs do not work well.
