Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Nevada Office of the Attorney General received a $2.43 million formula grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the State Medicaid Fraud Control Units program (CFDA 93.775) for the period of October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This award funds the Nevada Medicaid Fraud Control Unit to investigate and prosecute Medicaid provider fraud and to investigate instances of patient abuse or neglect occurring in health facilities, board and care facilities, and non-institutional settings affecting Medicaid beneficiaries.

The funding supports the state unit's law enforcement and prosecutorial operations, including case investigation, evidence gathering, and prosecution of fraudulent billing schemes and crimes against vulnerable Medicaid populations. As is standard under this formula grant program, funds are distributed quarterly and are allocated based on the state's detailed annual budget submission and documented expenditure needs. The award reflects Nevada's established capacity to operate a certified Medicaid Fraud Control Unit in compliance with federal requirements, including annual recertification by the Office of Inspector General.
