Medicaid Fraud Fighting and Taxpayer Protection Act

This bill changes a federal Medicaid rule about money recovered when a state sues over false or fraudulent Medicaid claims. Under current law, states with qualifying false claims laws get to keep an extra 10 percentage points of the money recovered, beyond their normal share. This bill would raise that extra amount to 25 percentage points. The change would apply to money recovered in state lawsuits brought on or after the date the bill becomes law.
