Federal and state authorities charged 19 individuals in Pennsylvania for a healthcare fraud crackdown involving home healthcare Medicaid billing schemes, uncovering over $4 million in alleged fraud. The crackdown highlights systemic issues in Medicaid billing, despite Electronic Visit Verification implementation, with expansions in enforcement efforts underway.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Healthtech Infrastructure.

You must anticipate heightened scrutiny and compliance demands in Medicaid-funded care services as enforcement intensifies in Pennsylvania and beyond. Avoid reliance on Electronic Visit Verification alone and strengthen fraud prevention and audit capabilities now.
