Medicaid 101
Medicaid is a state and federally funded health care coverage plan providing assistance to certain low-income and medically vulnerable people. Ohioans eligible for Medicaid are entitled to all medically necessary services. The state cannot limit the number of eligible persons enrolled in Medicaid or deny access to medically necessary services in order to control costs. Unlike most private insurance plans, Medicaid carries no deductibles or copayments. If a doctor accepts a Medicaid card, Medicaid pays the entire bill.
The program is administered by state agencies, thus the regulations governing Medicaid vary from state to state. In Ohio, Medicaid applications are processed through county Job and Family Services offices. Depending on which Medicaid service(s) you are receiving, other state agencies and non-profits may administer your care. At the federal level, Medicaid is administered by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
In southwestern Ohio, Council on Aging administers several Medicaid programs that provide home and community based services for older and disabled adults: PASSPORT and the Assisted Living Waiver are the two primary programs.

If you suspect that fraud is being committed against Medicaid, your first contact should be the Program Integrity contact in the agency that oversees your State's Medicaid program, which is usually called the State Medicaid Agency.
In Ohio: Ohio Department of Job and Family Services or Ohio Attorney General's Office
To report welfare fraud: 614-728-7741 or 800-627-8133 (ODJFS)
To report general Medicaid fraud: 800-282-0515 (Attorney General)
Call the OIG National Fraud Hotline - A second way to report suspected fraud in Medicaid is to call the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) National Fraud Hotline or submit your report online. This hotline handles calls about both Medicaid and Medicare, but it is not as direct as calling your State contact.
If you choose to use the Hot Line and/or submit online as a means of reporting fraud, you are still asked to use the guidelines listed above before you make your call.
