Bill overview
The Medicaid Patient Abuse Prevention Act expands the authority of state Medicaid fraud and abuse control units to investigate and prosecute cases of patient abuse and neglect. Currently, these units primarily focus on facilities like board and care homes. This bill clarifies that they can also investigate and pursue cases involving Medicaid patients in non-institutional settings, such as private homes or other community-based care. The changes aim to ensure more comprehensive protection for Medicaid recipients.
