Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Act

This bill sets new yearly funding amounts for federal efforts to fight health care fraud in Medicare and related programs, starting in fiscal year 2027, with amounts after 2029 rising with inflation. It lets the Health and Human Services Inspector General use these funds to look into fraud in programs created under the Affordable Care Act, and adds the Children's Health Insurance Program to a Medicare-Medicaid data matching program. It moves the due date for the annual fraud program report to Congress from January 1 to April 1 and requires notice to Congress explaining any delay. It also directs the Government Accountability Office to study how well the fraud control program works and report within 16 months.
