Closing the Provider Fraud Gap Act

Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 513.

2026-04-06

This bill would strengthen enforcement against healthcare providers who commit fraud—such as billing for services they didn't provide or overcharging insurance programs—by giving federal authorities better tools to investigate and prosecute these cases. The measure aims to protect families by reducing healthcare fraud that drives up insurance costs and wastes taxpayer money spent on government health programs like Medicare and Medicaid. It targets dishonest medical providers while leaving legitimate healthcare businesses unaffected.
