PHOENIX- More than 100 Arizona healthcare providers are under investigation for insurance fraud that targeted Native Americans and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
In a press conference yesterday, state officials and representatives from 13 of the state's federally recognized tribes announced efforts to crack down on Medicaid fraud, including cutting off payments to the suspended providers pending an investigation by state and federal officials.
"Today, we are announcing actions against over 100 providers of behavioral health, residential and outpatient treatment services," Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs said at Tuesday's press conference. "We have credible reason to believe that they defrauded the state's Medicaid program of hundreds of millions of dollars."
