Governor Hobbs stated that prior to her administration, AHCCCS had taken a piecemeal approach to targeting these fraudulent providers. She thanked law enforcement officials and AHCCCS for taking action and the MMIP Task Force for helping bring to light these fraudulent providers and the stories of those who have been affected by them.

The Governor said that together they are going to bring about the systemic reforms needed to root out this problem and deliver true accountability.
