Attorney General Dave Sunday announced the release of an annual report that ranks Pennsylvania’s Medicaid Fraud Control Section number one nationally in number of fraud charges filed against individuals and third overall in convictions taking action against those who abuse Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program. During the 2024 federal fiscal year, the section recovered more than $11.3 million in misused Medicaid funding, most through criminal prosecutions. During that same year, the section filed fraud charges against 113 people, filed neglect, abuse, and endangerment charges against 6 people, and secured convictions in 74 cases, which were filed last year or in previous years. The unit recovered $3.46 for every $1.00 spent in 2024.
