On June 25, 2025, the Office of the Inspector General (“OIG”) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) released a short video containing the highlights of the Medicaid Fraud Control Units (“MFCUs”) Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2024 (“2024 Annual Report”). While the 2024 Annual Report was released in March 2025, HHS OIG just released the two-minute video summarizing the key aspects of the report.
MFCUs—which investigate and prosecute statewide Medicaid provider fraud, and beneficiary abuse and neglect—recovered $1.4 billion in FY 2024, which equates to $3.46 for every $1 spent. Criminal recoveries were the highest amount in the past 10 years, $961 million, and more than double the rolling 5-year average. HHS OIG attributes this massive increase to the California MFCU, which recovered $513 million on its own.
