Bill overview
The WALZ Act directs the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Inspector General to investigate significant increases in payments to healthcare providers and suppliers under HHS programs. Specifically, if a program’s payments rise by 10% or more within a six-month period compared to the previous six months, the Inspector General must launch an investigation. This legislation aims to ensure accountability and transparency in how taxpayer dollars are spent within HHS programs. The goal is to identify and address potential issues related to improper or excessive payments.
