What this bill does
H.R. 10348, the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Act, would amend the Social Security Act to increase funding levels for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program through fiscal year 2029 and beyond, with amounts set for the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, the HHS Office of Inspector General, the FBI, the Medicare Integrity Program, and the Medicare-Medicaid Data Match Program. After 2029, funding would automatically rise each year with inflation. The bill also expands the HHS Inspector General's investigative authority to cover programs created under the Affordable Care Act, clarifies that "health plan" in fraud-control law includes both public and private plans, and extends the Medicare-Medicaid Data Match Program to include the Children's Health Insurance Program starting in 2027.
The bill affects federal agencies responsible for detecting and prosecuting health care fraud, including HHS, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the HHS Inspector General, as well as programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. It also changes reporting requirements, moving the annual report deadline to Congress from January 1 to April 1 and requiring notice if that report is delayed. Additionally, it directs the Government Accountability Office to study the program's performance and effectiveness and report findings and recommendations to Congress within 16 months of enactment.
The bill was introduced on September 10, 2026, by Rep. Thomas Suozzi, with Rep. Claudia Tenney as a cosponsor, and referred to the House Committees on Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce. As an introduced bill, it would need committee consideration, potential amendment, and approval by the House and Senate, followed by presidential signature, before becoming law.
