Attorney General Maura Healey announced that her office’s Medicaid Fraud Division recovered more than $71 million during the most recent federal fiscal year, which ended on September 30. The Division recovered approximately $11 for every dollar appropriated by the federal government and the Massachusetts legislature for its work. The AG’s Medicaid Fraud Division investigates and prosecutes providers who defraud the state’s Medicaid program, MassHealth. The Division is also responsible for reviewing complaints of abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and financial exploitation of patients in long-term care facilities and MassHealth members in any healthcare setting.
