From the major provisions in the new reform law that affect Medicaid program integrity efforts, including the expansion of the RAC program to Medicaid providers ... to intense pressure from the states ... and very high Medicaid error rates that are driving CMS and the HHS Office of Inspector General to launch unprecedented efforts to curtail Medicaid payment errors and fraud and abuse — there is no question that Medicaid compliance should be a top focus for every health care compliance officer.
