Governor Stitt Directs Attorney General to Align Efforts with Trump Administration Crackdown on Medicaid Fraud

OKLAHOMA CITY (May 20, 2026) - Today, Governor Kevin Stitt directed the Attorney General to cooperate with the Trump administration’s audit of Medicaid Fraud Control Units and ensure that Oklahoma taxpayer dollars are not being misused by bad actors.

The letter reads, in part:
“President Trump’s audit is aimed at aggressive enforcement, accurate documentation, and real accountability from Medicaid providers. That is the right agenda, and Oklahoma should be leading it.

“That is why your recent audit request of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority is so concerning. Rather than reinforcing the very guardrails the Trump administration is working to strengthen, your request appears politically motivated and aligned with the interests of major donors who have opposed the State’s recent efforts to increase accountability and protect taxpayers.”

Oklahoma’s managed care initiative, SoonerSelect, has increased transparency and accountability in our state’s Medicaid programs. Following President Trump and Vice President Vance’s recent fraud task force announcement, Governor Stitt emphasized the need for statewide cooperation to ensure our Medicaid programs are serving the most vulnerable in our state, not lining the pockets of individuals trying to defraud the system. Success requires quick action when it comes to complaints filed with the Attorney Generals Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
