Missouri Medicaid Audit & Compliance Issues Fraud Alert
Missouri Medicaid Audit & Compliance issued an alert to all enrolled providers regarding a recent increase in cybersecurity threats targeting health care organizations, including Medicaid providers.
MMAC received reports of malicious actors impersonating the organization in fraudulent emails. These emails may falsely claim that your provider account is subject to “arrest and closure” unless a late “account fee” is paid. These messages are not legitimate and are part of a phishing campaign designed to steal sensitive information and funds.
