The Alaska Department of Law received a $4.3 million Formula Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to investigate and prosecute Medicaid provider fraud as well as patient abuse or neglect in health facilities and board and care facilities through September 2022. The funding supports the State Medicaid Fraud Control Units federal grant program, which provides funding to states to investigate Medicaid fraud and patient abuse or neglect in healthcare settings. As the primary sub-awardee, the Alaska Department of Law's Criminal Division will deliver these investigative and prosecutorial services on behalf of the State of Alaska Office of the Governor throughout Alaska.
