The Medicaid Program provides medical benefits to low-income people who have no medical insurance or inadequate medical insurance. Although the Federal government establishes general guidelines for the program, the Medicaid program requirements are actually established by each state.

Health care fraud and abuse may involve doctors, pharmacists, and medical equipment companies.  This type of fraud and abuse not only harms you financially, but more importantly, your health.

Success in addressing health care fraud and abuse cannot be measured solely by convictions obtained, but can be more effectively measured by the deterrent effect that efforts have on those who may be contemplating fraud and abuse.  Anyone with information on Medicaid fraud and abuse is encouraged to contact their Medicaid state agency.
