National Medicaid Fraud Strategies Released

Even though the testimony of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General to the House Appropriations Committee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, March 4, 2010 on the activities to combat Medicare and Medicaid fraud are vitally important, the testimony of the Deputy Director proved to be even more revealing.

Operations of the Health Care Fraud Enforcement Task Force, H.E.A.T. will be expanding to 13 new locations to stop the unbelievable levels of health care fraud across the nation.

Various federal statutes and work with the States Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCU) will now be used to go after the fraudfeasors. Let's sit back and see if the MFCUs will touch child welfare fraud. Stay tuned.
