Note to the Press: State Rep. Becky Cash (R-Zionsville) issued the following statement following today's announcement from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration on the results of the HCBS Attendant Care Audits.
"Since taking office in 2023, I have met frequently with the Indiana Office of Medicaid Fraud, Waste and Abuse, as well as state and federal fraud agencies operating outside the Statehouse in accordance with federal law. I have also engaged with attorneys from the Attorney General’s Office and held ongoing conversations with FSSA and the Governor’s Office regarding my concerns about protecting vulnerable populations and addressing the impact of fraud, waste and abuse on access to care.
"I've worked on legislation to strengthen Medicaid audit requirements and have collaborated with my colleagues to ensure appropriate oversight and accountability from our state agencies. I commend FSSA for conducting this audit and for its continued efforts in this area.
"At the same time, I urge FSSA to ensure that the care our most vulnerable Hoosiers depend on is not disrupted due to the actions of these businesses, and to pursue every available avenue to recover improperly distributed funds. These audits are the result of sustained efforts by members of the General Assembly working alongside FSSA to prioritize transparency and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars." – State Rep. Becky Cash (R-Zionsville)
