Health Care Fraud Prevention Program Expansion and SMP Capacity Building Grants

Funding Opportunity 1 The HEAT task force has identified geographic areas most vulnerable to Medicare and Medicaid fraud.

There is a need to expand the capacity of SMP projects in those areas to reach larger numbers of Medicare beneficiaries, their caregivers and family members with the SMP

message of fraud prevention.

The goal of this announcement is to enhance SMP efforts to reach beneficiary populations in the geographical locations of the Medicare Strike Forces in collaboration with law enforcement, and other partners such as CMS, community organizations, etc.

Purpose and Objectives Targeted Requirements for HEAT/High Fraud States States eligible for this funding opportunity are required to develop innovative, new and targeted strategies for expanding awareness of health care fraud and enhancing the role of the SMP as a working partner in HEAT Strike Force operations.

Funding Opportunity 2 The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has identified 18 states with the highest incidences of health care fraud or at the greatest risk of fraud based on such data as greatest numbers of known fraud hot spots, top states with largest numbers of compromised beneficiaries, and those states in the DME Stop-Gap Plan.

There is a need to expand the capacity of SMP projects in those areas to reach larger numbers of Medicare beneficiaries, their caregivers and family members with the SMP message of fraud prevention.

The goal of this announcement is to enhance SMP efforts to reach beneficiary populations in these designated high fraud states.

Targeted Requirements for High Fraud States States eligible for this funding opportunity are required to develop innovative, new and targeted strategies for expanding awareness of health care fraud and enhancing the role of the SMP in fraud control.
