Medicaid Paid $207M to Dead Enrollees

•
Over $207 million in Medicaid payments were made to deceased individuals between July 2021 and July 2022, according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. This issue is widespread, with nearly $289 million in similar improper payments uncovered in past audits since 2016. While recent efforts have shown promise, such as a pilot program that recovered over $31 million, privacy laws and complications with the Full Death Master File continue to pose challenges.
