Two House committees have requested a review of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Fraud Prevention System, according to a letter sent to the Government Accountability Office.
Bipartisan leaders on the House Energy and Commerce and House Ways and Means Committees Monday specifically asked the GAO to identify the types of potentially fraudulent payments the FPS found and how many actions have been taken by CMS against providers as a result of the system. The leaders also want to know if the process could be implemented for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
