Alarmed by the tens of billions of dollars in Medicare and Medicaid fraud and overpayments annually that are draining the federal health care system, the Obama administration has quietly stepped up its auditing and enforcement efforts to crack down on doctors, hospitals and other medical facilities cheating on their billings.
The effort includes a strict review of reporting procedures and a “comprehensive corrective action plan” involving the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and law enforcement officials. It comes on the heels of a Feb. 26 letter from White House Budget Director Shaun Donovan declaring the crackdown a “key priority” in the final two years of the Obama administration.
