Dr. Mehmet Oz announces nationwide Medicaid audit

Dr. Mehmet Oz has directed all 50 governors to take immediate action against Medicaid fraud, emphasizing the urgency of revalidating high-risk providers.
States have 10 business days to commit to a swift revalidation process and 30 days to submit a broader strategy for provider oversight.
Oz's initiative responds to significant fraud concerns, particularly highlighted by a major scandal in Minnesota, with potential losses estimated at $1.7 billion.
