After reviewing HB 3668 more closely, we have decided to stop tracking it, as it falls outside of Metriarch’s focus.
According to the state prepared summary of HB 3668, the measure increases the penalty for Medicaid fraud. Fraud could be labeled racketeering and the threshold for felony fraud is reduced from $2,000 to $1,000.
The author’s presentation has solely described HB 3668 as a measure to protect vulnerable adults in a medical setting, which is also in the bill.
Heavily penalizes Medicaid fraud. Those who are found to have committed fraud required to pay back three times the claimed and received money, or $10,000, whichever is higher. Three year prison also possible.
“Person” is defined as any entity from individuals to corporations.
