Federal officials say it's part of the war on fraud. But denying funds based on concerns with unspecified claims does not actually fight fraud. Temporary Commissioner John Connolly spoke to The Washington Sun about concerns over such actions & the implications for the state. ⬇️

Effective program integrity requires a strong federal–state partnership. Minnesota has repeatedly asked the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide evidence supporting public claims of Medicaid fraud so that we can stop payments where warranted. ⬇️
Quote from Temporary Commissioner John Connolly: "We remain prepared to act on credible concerns, but we need CMS to join us by sharing critical information on identified fraud risks. We also need a clear path to resolution in order to remove the threatened $2 billion cut, release deferrals that have frozen $550 million in Medicaid funds, and to work with us to address outstanding issues with claims to mitigate potential funding clawbacks."
