HMS Helps Ohio Combat Medicaid Fraud
Ohio delivered more indictments for Medicaid fraud than any other state in the last year — thanks in part to the work of ACS client HMS. “The Ohio Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is doing as good or better than any (other unit) in the country,” said Lloyd Early, special agent in charge of Medicaid fraud, in a June 5th article in the Dayton Daily News.
HMS works with the state Medicaid agencies to help detect fraud as part of its contract to provide program integrity services. For several years, ACS has helped HMS identify and pursue growth opportunities for its business in Ohio. As a result of HMS’s work, clients like the State of Ohio are able to recover millions of dollars every year and save billions more through the prevention of erroneous payments. That’s a win-win for everyone!
