Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history.
This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time.
For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota.

DOGE marches on

This is going to be huge. Maybe other datasets associated with spending programs can be crowd sourced as well.

DOG: The FRAUD Hunter!!
Democrats CANNOT do anything about it. It is out there on the Internet now and perfectly timed with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's message of "Treasury was setting up a website for people to report Medicare fraud— and they’ll get up to 30% of whatever’s fined and recovered."

The release was framed as an anti-fraud move, surfing a wave of public outrage washing out of Minneapolis and Nick Shirley’s viral video. In making the announcement (on X, of course), DOGE-HHS pointed out, “For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota.” The space billionaire quickly chimed in. “Medicaid data has been open-sourced, so the level of fraud is easy to identify,” Musk wrote. “DOGE is not a department, it’s a state of mind,” he added. ?? Wastin’ away again in DOGE-eritaville. ??
The 11GB file can be searched or downloaded at OpenData HHS, and includes aggregated provider-level claims data, by billing code, by month, between 2018 and 2024— bookending the whole pandemic period. (Note— It does not contain patient-level data.) It includes records from all Medicaid claims submitted by providers for reimbursement during that period.
This is clearly not just a DOGE project. It is a coordinated effort across the Trump Administration. For example, timed with the release of the data, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a related new program. Not only have they open-sourced the research, but they have gamified it. Bessent said Treasury was setting up a website for people to report Medicare fraud— and they’ll get up to 30% of whatever’s fined and recovered.

I know where hundreds of millions of Medicare fraud/waste/abuse is but I am not willing to be black listed and wait for a decade to have my dataset validated.

They should create DOGE divisions within each department of the Executive Branch. Department of Commerce, Labor, HHS, DOJ, DOD, etc. Fund the DOGE efforts through the funding that goes to each department and let the authorization to fund the DOGE employees in each department come from the Cabinet members.

Pocket change. I do not blame you.

Oh it would be worth it but the whistle blower cases have been taking forever to settle. I followed the Kaiser case that was recently settled in January. Took 14 years.
