Dr. Oz Announces Medicaid Audit
The Trump administration is requiring all 50 states to submit detailed plans for how they will revalidate Medicaid providers to ensure their legitimacy.
Dr. Oz stated that the agency will have to audit states 'more aggressively' if they do not take the request seriously, following several high-profile scandals.
The initiative is part of a broader 'Make America Healthy Again' strategy aimed at streamlining federal health spending.
Health care leaders expressed concern at a recent summit that the changes could lead to a loss of coverage for some vulnerable populations.
