What happened

Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, joined Fox News’s Fox & Friends in a segment Fox News published on September 8, 2026 under the headline “Dr. Oz: This is RAMPANT FRAUD.” According to Fox News’s description, Oz discussed a major Medicare fraud crackdown and efforts to curb billions of dollars in health-care fraud, alongside the administration’s push to lower prescription drug costs through TrumpRx.

Why it matters

The appearance came two weeks before Oz joined Vice President Vance at the September 22, 2026 White House announcement on ACA enrollment fraud — the fraud campaign has been CMS’s signature public effort under Oz, and this Fox & Friends segment is where he carried the Medicare side of it to a national morning audience, paired with the TrumpRx drug-pricing push.

Scoreboard watch

This is a candidate item for the scoreboard: the fraud-crackdown and TrumpRx claims Oz pressed here are measurable commitments. What the scoreboard will check as the record develops is outcomes — recoveries, enforcement actions, and drug prices actually paid — against the figures stated across this campaign.
