Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank question about healthcare programs and related organizations, we analyze each blank:

First Blank

The sentence is "____ administers the government insurance programs Medicare and Medicaid."

• HHS (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) is responsible for administering Medicare and Medicaid. So the first blank should be filled with "HHS".

Second Blank

The sentence is "If there is suspected fraud in either of these programs, the ____ investigates it."

• OIG (Office of Inspector General) is the entity that investigates fraud in government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. So the second blank should be filled with "OIG".

Third Blank

The sentence is "They can also look into __, which are illegal according to __."

• For the first part of this blank, "fraud" is what is looked into as it is the illegal activity in these programs. For the second part, "AHIMA" (American Health Information Management Association) has standards related to what is legal and illegal in health information and related aspects of these programs. But more accurately, in the context of Medicare and Medicaid fraud, the legal framework and what is illegal is also defined by regulations, but from the given options, for the second part of the blank (the one related to what defines it as illegal), "AHIMA" is a possible choice in the context of health information and coding which is related to these programs. And the first part of the third blank is "fraud".

Answer:

First blank: HHS
Second blank: OIG
Third blank (first part): fraud; Third blank (second part): AHIMA
