The Trump administration is expanding its fraud probe to Florida as part of a nationwide crackdown on state Medicaid programs. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz has stated that Florida has become a "hotspot for health care fraud" in recent years. He has sent a letter to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis requesting information on how the state identifies, prevents and addresses bad actors. This follows similar requests from New York, Minnesota, Maine, and California. The state’s Attorney General James Uthmeier has indicated his willingness to cooperate with Oz.
