According to Attorney General Ken Paxton, the investigations were made possible by data released by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The DOGE data was released earlier this year and publicized on X to help detect Medicaid fraud.
The types of providers being investigated include home health providers, occupational therapy providers, and entities that potentially committed fraud related to COVID-19 treatments.
Attorney General Paxton’s Healthcare Program Enforcement Division (HPED) has already filed numerous landmark cases against entities that have illegally taken advantage of Texans, including suing Children’s Health and a Texas doctor “transitioning” kids, a dental network defrauding Texas Medicaid, and pharmaceutical companies Sanofi and Eli Lilly for providing illegal kickbacks to doctors.
HPED has also secured millions for Texans, including recently securing $41.5 million from Pfizer and Tris Pharma for providing adulterated drugs to children.
Attorney General Paxton has vowed to continue pursuing any fraudsters who attempt to cheat Texans out of money by exploiting the healthcare system.
“Unlike states that are run by radical left-wing lunatics, we will not tolerate the abuse of taxpayer-funded programs in Texas,” he said.
The AG’s office has already recovered over $1 billion from Medicaid fraud alone since 2020, and it is expected that the current investigations will yield significant results.
In a statement, Attorney General Paxton said, “My office has already recovered over $1 billion from Medicaid fraud alone since 2020, and I will continue to pursue any fraudster who attempts to cheat Texans out of money by exploiting our healthcare system.”
The investigations are ongoing, and it is unclear how many providers will ultimately be affected.
However, one thing is certain: the Texas Attorney General’s office is committed to protecting taxpayer dollars and ensuring that those who abuse the Medicaid system are held accountable.
