SB1180

Requires the state auditor to conduct biennial audits of Medicaid health care insurance contractors.

This bill mandates the state auditor to perform management and financial audits of Medicaid health care insurance contractors every two years. The audits aim to assess financial integrity, performance, and compliance with federal and state laws. The first audit must be completed within six months of July 1, 2025, with the report submitted to the governor, legislature, and director of human services. The bill highlights the importance of these audits in preventing fraud, waste, and abuse, ensuring proper use of public funds, and delivering quality health care services to Medicaid beneficiaries.
