Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Act

This bill sets new yearly funding amounts for the federal Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program for fiscal years 2027 through 2029, with later years rising with inflation. Funding covers the Departments of Health and Human Services and Justice, the HHS Inspector General, the FBI, the Medicare Integrity Program, and the Medicare-Medicaid data match program. It lets the HHS Inspector General investigate programs created under the Affordable Care Act and adds the Children's Health Insurance Program to the data match program starting in 2027. It moves the program's annual report deadline from January 1 to April 1 and requires notice to Congress explaining any delay. It also directs the Government Accountability Office to study the program's performance and report to Congress within 16 months.
