State Medicaid Fraud Control Units; Data Mining

This proposed rule amends a provision in HHS regulations that prohibits State Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCU) from using Federal matching funds to identify fraud through screening and analyzing State Medicaid claims data, known as data mining. To support and modernize MFCU efforts to effectively pursue Medicaid provider fraud, we propose to permit Federal Financial Participation (FFP) in the costs of defined data mining activities under specified conditions. In addition, we propose that MFCUs annually report the costs and results of approved data mining activities to OIG.
