CMS Chief Dr. Mehmet Oz has ordered states to recheck high-risk Medicaid providers for potential fraud. He put all 50 governors on notice about "billions" lost to Medicaid fraud and urged tighter reviews of providers flagged as high risk. The directive aims to recover misspent funds, shore up program integrity, and discourage bad actors from exploiting state Medicaid programs.
