Hawaii’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is costing 10 times as much to operate as it is in exposing waste, fraud and abuse in the federal health care program for the poor and disadvantaged, according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General.
The state of Hawaii government’s federally funded Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has no auditor, no written employee policies and no professional training program. The unit recovered about $337,000 from 2011 through 2013, but it spent $3.9 million during the same period.
