Federal authorities have decertified Hawaii’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit due to a decade-long “abject failure” to enforce state and federal laws to prohibit fraud in the state, Andrew Ferguson, co-chair of the White House Fraud Task Force, announced on June 4.
March Bell, inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, ended the Unit’s operational grants, according to a letter from Bell to Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez obtained by The Epoch Times.
