Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds released the final report of the Governor's Medicaid Fraud Elimination Task Force on October 29, offering five main recommendations: strengthen the state Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, improve public awareness of and reporting channels for Medicaid fraud, reinforce quality and program integrity for high-risk Medicaid services, maximize the use of technology and data analytics, and strengthen managed-care organizations' network management.
The report notes that many recommendations can be carried out under existing authority, while some require appropriations or legislation. Task force members include Larry Johnson, chief deputy director of the Department of Health and Human Services; Lee Grossman, the state Medicaid director; Aaron Baack, interim director of the Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing; Jeremy Ingram, director of the state Medicaid Fraud Control Unit; and Steve Bayens, commissioner of the Department of Public Safety.
