A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW REGARDING MEDICAID FRAUD.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 108A-64 is amended by inserting a new subsection to read:
"( b1)	It is unlawful for any person knowingly, willingly, and with intent to defraud, to obtain or attempt to obtain, or to assist, aid, or abet another person, either directly or indirectly, to obtain money, services, or any other thing of value to which the person is not entitled as a recipient under this Part, or otherwise to deliberately misuse a Medicaid identification card.  This misuse includes the sale, alteration, or lending of the Medicaid identification card to others for services and the use of the card by someone other than the recipient to receive or attempt to receive Medicaid program coverage for services rendered to that individual.
Proof of intent to defraud does not require proof of intent to defraud any particular person."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective December 1, 1995, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
