Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to send reports on Medicare and Medicaid fraud to four congressional committees. The first report would be due within 3 months after the law takes effect, with more reports at least every 3 months for 2 years. Each report would list the number of fraud investigations, the number of criminal and civil cases started from those investigations, the dollar amounts and charges in each case, and the number of people and organizations barred from federal health programs due to fraud. The bill provides no new money, so the work would be paid for with existing funds.
