We Want Our Healthcare Money Back Act of 2025
This bill requires the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to submit quarterly reports to specific congressional committees on Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The reports must detail the number of fraud investigations, prosecutions, civil actions, alleged fraud amounts, charges, and exclusions from federal health programs. It mandates these reports for two years after enactment using existing agency funding, with no new money authorized. The bill does not change fraud penalties or refund money to citizens - it is solely a reporting requirement for oversight.
