The Utah Office of Inspector General (UOIG) is an independent government agency tasked by statute to conduct oversight of the Utah Medicaid program. This includes oversight of all programs, funding and services associated directly or indirectly with Medicaid.
The office conducts oversight of the Medicaid program using several diverse and wide-ranging tools and resources: Audits, Inspections, Investigations, Monitoring, Education and Training, and Policy Reviews.
UOIG is able to make recommendations to Medicaid about how to improve operations and efficiency of the program. The office works to identify, prevent and recover taxpayer monies that are expended as the result of improper payment or fraud, waste and abuse.”
The office recently provided a training at the Adult Protective Services Division within the Utah Department of Human Services. Click here for the training slides presented.
