Trump cuts funding to Hawaii’s Medicaid fraud unit
The Trump administration is cutting $3 million in federal funding to Hawaii’s Medicaid fraud control program due to a lack of indictments or convictions over four years. A letter from the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General states the agency will not recertify the state’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
