HCBS Anti-Fraud Reporting Act of 2026
Key claim: A newly introduced House bill would create anti-fraud reporting requirements for Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services, which pay for long-term care delivered in people’s homes and communities rather than institutions.
Abstract
(HR9126 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-03): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Why this matters
Medicaid HCBS is a major funding source for in-home long-term care, and program integrity rules shape the paperwork and oversight burden on providers delivering those services. A targeted anti-fraud reporting regime would add compliance obligations specific to HCBS without altering eligibility or covered services, consistent with a broader federal focus on Medicaid payment integrity.
