Behavioral health continues to be one of the fastest evolving areas of care—and one of the most vulnerable to fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). As treatment models expand, regulations shift, and coding and documentation requirements grow more complex, health plans are facing an increasingly challenging landscape. Bad actors are adapting quickly, exploiting new trends and gaps in oversight, making behavioral health FWA harder than ever to detect.
Nowhere is this challenge more acute than in Medicaid. State Medicaid programs are under intense scrutiny as utilization rises and enforcement efforts accelerate. New and stricter state guidance are exposing vulnerabilities that demand immediate attention from special investigation units (SIUs) and payment integrity teams. While Medicaid has been hit hardest, many of the same schemes are beginning to surface across other lines of business.
