U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) introduced H.R. 9645, the We Want Our Healthcare Money Back Act of 2024, to investigate fraud within the Department of Health and Human Services' public healthcare programs. This legislation mandates that the Office of Inspector General for HHS submit a quarterly report to Congress detailing updates on ongoing fraud investigations in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The introduction of this anti-fraud legislation follows testimony from the Comptroller General of the United States before the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, which estimated over $100 billion in improper payments within Medicare and Medicaid programs.
"Every dollar stolen from taxpayers is one dollar too many. As the Inspector General continues to investigate healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse, Congress must be kept apprised of the extent of the fraud and the progress in resolving the ongoing cases. My bill is a commonsense step toward better protecting taxpayer dollars and ensuring these critical resources go to those who need it most," said Congressman Bean.
This legislation has garnered support from Americans for Prosperity and Council for Affordable Health Coverage.
