Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Providers face tougher Medicaid record penalties

If you submit a Medicaid claim or get paid, you must keep records for five years. If the claim is under $650, intentionally failing to keep records is a misdemeanor. If the claim is $650 or more, it is a gross misdemeanor. Intentionally destroying required records within five years after payment is a Category D felony.

No duplicate whistleblower suits allowed

A private whistleblower cannot file a case if the state or a local government is already in a civil or money-penalty case on the same facts. This stops repeat lawsuits based on the same conduct.

Civil subpoenas for Medicaid fraud investigations

The Attorney General can subpoena records and sworn testimony through the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. Evidence from these subpoenas may be used in civil Medicaid cases, not in criminal cases. If someone does not comply, the Attorney General can ask a district court to order compliance after a hearing. The court can narrow demands to prevent undue burden or expense.
