Tim Murphy (R-PA), announced a hearing for Tuesday, May 2, 2017, at 10:15 a.m. in room 2322 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The hearing is entitled, “Combating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Medicaid’s Personal Care Services Program."
#SubOversight will examine waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid’s Personal Care Services (PCS) program. In recent months, both the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have issued reports highlighting fraud schemes, poor program integrity, and mismanagement that have harmed beneficiaries.
Confirmed to testify are:
* Katherine Iritani, Director, Health Care, GAO
* Christi Grimm, Chief of Staff, HHS OIG
* Timothy Hill, Deputy Director of Medicaid and CHIP at CMS
“These reports chronicle systemic fraud and mismanagement within an important Medicaid program that the elderly and disabled populations rely on," said Chairman Murphy. “These concerning findings, in addition to others about the treatment of patients, must be addressed."
