The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services Admits Key Error in New York Medicaid Program Integrity Review
The Trump administration this week acknowledged a significant factual error at the heart of its March 3rd Medicaid program integrity investigation of New York State. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) admitted to the Associated Press (AP) that the real number of New Yorkers receiving personal care services last year was approximately 450,000—between 6% and 7% of total enrollees—not the nearly 5 million (three-fourths of enrollees) that Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz claimed in his letter to Governor Hochul and accompanying social media video. The admission comes one week after the State submitted its 70-page response on April 3rd, which directly challenged the 75% figure as inaccurate, and when combined with additional factual misrepresentations identified by New York and independent advocates, arguably weakens the federal enforcement posture and vindicates the State’s strategic approach.
