The purpose of the study was to analyze and describe the nature and extent of fraud, waste, abuse and inefficiency within the state’s Medicaid program. Specifically, it sought to identify programs in Virginia and other states that have reduced these harmful activities and compare the nature and scope of the activities in Virginia to other states.
JLARC has conducted interviews, reviewed literature and documentation and analyzed data to collect the necessary information to put the research together. A final report is scheduled to be published in Oct. 2011.
