Iowa Attorney General Launches Medicaid Fraud Elimination Task Force
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird convened the newly created Medicaid Fraud Elimination Task Force for its inaugural meeting on Wednesday. The 11-person task force established five working groups charged with developing recommendations to prevent and eliminate fraud in Iowa's Medicaid program. Bird emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to Medicaid fraud. The task force will develop policy recommendations affecting program integrity oversight for Iowa's Medicaid managed care organizations and providers.
Iowa MCOs should anticipate heightened fraud detection requirements, potential changes to provider credentialing standards, and increased coordination with state enforcement authorities as task force recommendations take shape.
