What this bill would do

The bill is called the Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act. It requires states to conduct regular fraud risk assessments under the Medicaid program. States must complete these assessments not later than one year after the enactment of the subsection and annually thereafter. Additionally, states must implement corrective action plans to address any identified vulnerabilities. States are also required to submit annual reports to the Secretary, who will then submit a report to Congress.
