Bill overview
This bill, the Medicare and Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act of 2024, aims to prevent fraud and abuse within the Medicaid program by requiring states to regularly check for deceased providers. Specifically, states must verify if a provider is deceased through the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File as part of the enrollment or revalidation process. This check needs to occur at least quarterly while the provider remains enrolled in the program. The goal is to ensure that deceased providers are not providing services and potentially misusing Medicaid funds.
