Implementing state auditor recommendations for reducing improper medicaid concurrent enrollment payments.

Summary

The measure requires the state Medicaid authority and the Department of Social and Health Services to share data, use address‑change information, and work with managed‑care insurers to identify people who have moved out of Washington or are enrolled in more than one Medicaid program. It directs the recovery of premiums from those insurers, mandates annual reporting to the governor and legislature, and calls for a performance audit by the state auditor by the end of 2031. The goal is to cut improper Medicaid payments identified in a prior auditor review.
