Medicaid directors from New York, Ohio, California, and Minnesota are expected to testify. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has requested details from New York, California, and Minnesota about their program integrity practices and has withheld certain federal funds from some of those states over fraud related concerns. The subcommittee has also issued similar information requests to those three states.
