The House Energy & Commerce Committee has launched an investigation into alleged Medicaid fraud in 10 more states – including Pennsylvania.
The Committee sent Governor Shapiro and Department of Human Services (DHS) Secretary Arkoosh a letter on Tuesday, March 3. The letter to Pennsylvania cites “In fiscal year 2024, Pennsylvania Medicaid spending totaled over $44 billion ($26.8 billion in federal funding) and covered over 3 million people. Between 2018 and 2025, the state budget for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services increased 58 percent, despite the population only growing 2 percent in that time.”
