Bill overview
This bill, the Medicare and Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act, aims to reduce fraud and abuse within the Medicaid program by requiring states to regularly check for deceased providers. Specifically, starting in 2027, states must verify if a provider is still alive during the enrollment or revalidation process, using the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File. This quarterly check is intended to prevent deceased providers from continuing to bill for services. The bill updates existing Medicaid regulations to include this crucial screening step.
