SR 216 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution directing the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to conduct an audit of the medical assistance programs of the Commonwealth and provide a report to the General Assembly.

This resolution directs Pennsylvania's Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to audit the state's medical assistance programs (including Medicaid) within 18 months. The audit must examine actuarial standards, whether past federal audit recommendations were adopted (like those from 2017 and 2024), and analyze high-risk areas for potential fraud. It requires the committee to report findings and recommendations to the General Assembly, focusing on program efficiency, cost savings, and fraud prevention. The resolution directly affects state agencies providing medical assistance and the committee conducting the audit.
