HHS Cuts Funding to New York Medicaid Fraud Control Unit for Poor Performance (Connecting the Dots: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Letitia James, New York & The Carnegie/Soros Network)
Despite
a $60 million annual budget and 270 staff members, the unit produced fewer
Medicaid fraud indictments in the past five years than peer states.

The
Trump administration has suspended funding for New
York’s Medicaid
fraud control unit because of its alleged failure to combat fraud, the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office
of Inspector General announced on June 30.
The
administration denied recertification of the New York fraud unit, which makes
it ineligible for federal funds after Sept. 30, the end of the 2026 fiscal
year.
New
York receives about $60 million per year in taxpayer dollars to root out fraud
in its Medicaid program and has staffed more than 270 people to perform that
function, according to a letter from HHS Inspector General T. March Bell to the
office of the New York attorney general.
However,
the unit annually produced fewer than 10 criminal indictments for fraud, on
average, across the past five years. Similar units in other states have secured
hundreds of Medicaid fraud indictments despite having a fraction of the budget
and staff, the letter stated.
New
York also reported the lowest number of fraud convictions among peer states
California, Texas, Florida, and Ohio, according to the letter.

“This administration’s unprecedented attack
on New York is another political distraction,” James said in a statement. “The
only people this decision benefits are the criminals we investigate every day.
We are considering all legal options to stop this outrageous action.”
The federal agency said those recoveries were
the unit’s civil results, separate from its criminal prosecutions, which were
not in line with those of its peers.
“This evidence does not outweigh the
sustained poor outcomes for the Unit’s criminal fraud cases,” the letter reads.
Medicaid fraud control units, on average,
return nearly $4 for every $1 spent on enforcement, according to federal data.
New York’s unit returned less than $2, according to Bell.
New York’s Medicaid program covers nearly 7
million people, about one-third of all New Yorkers, at a cost of more than $115
billion per year, according to the state comptroller.
The state’s per-resident spending on the
program was roughly 80 percent higher than the national average in 2025.
“That alone demands scrutiny, but it gets
worse,” said Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator at the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who opened a federal investigation into New
York’s Medicaid program on March 3.
In addition to the state’s massive
enrollment, Oz said New York has turned its Medicaid program—intended for the
most vulnerable—into a taxpayer-funded jobs program.
Nearly four in 10 jobs added in New York
between 2023 and 2024 were in home health and personal care.
Federal authorities decertified Hawaii’s Medicaid fraud control unit
earlier this month, citing a decade of poor performance. On July 1, federal officials will
announce recertification decisions for units in nine other states: Colorado,
Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and
Wisconsin.
