Bill > SB00169

This bill requires the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU), which is located within the Office of the Chief State's Attorney, to maintain full staffing levels as specified by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Affordable Care Act established specific guidelines for state Medicaid Fraud Control Units to ensure they have adequate personnel and resources to investigate and prosecute Medicaid fraud, waste, and misuse of state resources. By mandating full staffing, the bill aims to enhance the unit's ability to detect and prevent fraudulent activities in the state's Medicaid program, ultimately protecting taxpayer money and ensuring that Medicaid funds are used appropriately for their intended purpose of providing healthcare services to eligible individuals.
