The Governor announced this afternoon that he vetoed legislation on Friday to curb the overly aggressive tactics of the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General. While the bill had been tempered from prior versions to make it more agreeable to the Governor and Legislature, the Governor called it “too far-reaching” and said that it would “potentially allow fraudulent and abusive activity to go undetected and unprosecuted.” The bill was backed by a very broad coalition of Medicaid providers including NYSARC.
