Bill overview
The WALZ Act directs the Department of Health and Human Services’ Inspector General to investigate potential overpayments made to providers and suppliers under state programs that receive federal funding. Specifically, the Inspector General must launch an investigation if a state program’s payments increase by 10% or more within a six-month period compared to the previous six months. This legislation aims to ensure accountability and prevent fraud in the use of federal healthcare dollars at the state level. The bill seeks to identify and correct any instances of improper payments.
