The Attorney General Eric Holder, Medicare fraud costs the government $ 60 billion per year. Holder and the Obama administration say current efforts to end the fraud was not efficient enough.
Article USA Today suggests a productive meeting that the public and private sectors have agreed to share data proactively and improve coordination.
Obama also plans to extend the prevention of health care fraud and Enforcement (HEAT), which ramp up law enforcement efforts against fraud. HEAT has shown that collaboration between the public and private sectors helps to fight Medicare fraud and recovered $ 2.2 billion last year.
Some key action items in this "top of the fraud" include the use of less sensitive identification numbers instead of Social Security numbers and educating families about conservation private information. A "pre-payment" system was also proposed. When fraud is suspected, the government delay Medicaid payments for reasonableness rather than "pay and chase" the author as it currently operates.
Holder believes coordination between the health sector HEAT and will make the process smoother and easier to apply.
Because Medicare fraud costs the government and families so much money each year, it's a good thing that the Obama administration is cracking.
