CMS to crack down on fraud
LTC Liability Monitor, September 1, 2004
CMS is taking strides to combat fraud and abuse by expanding its program integrity initiatives, the agency announced Friday.
CMS aims to detect improper payments made to nursing homes and other healthcare settings in a more efficient, timely manner, according to a press release. The agency will also boost outreach efforts to educate providers and beneficiaries about ways to minimize fraud, abuse, and waste.
Additionally, Ohio and Washington will join seven other states in the Medicare-Medicaid match program, a federal anti-fraud effort that analyzes suspicious billing patterns that may not be evident when viewing the programs separately. Click here to read the announcement.
