WASHINGTON — A House committee has launched an investigation into alleged Medicaid fraud in 10 states — including New York and California — demanding records “to ensure program integrity in states nationwide,” The Post can reveal. The letters, sent March 3 by GOP leaders on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, asked for records and communications from the governors and leaders of state health agencies of New York, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Maine, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Washington State. Each of the missives drew attention to recent reports or prosecutions of fraudsters in the respective states.
