CMS Strengthens Measures Against Healthcare Fraud and Abuse
The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is intensifying efforts to combat fraud, waste, and abuse in healthcare programs to protect enrolled Americans.
CMS focuses on identifying and taking down fraudulent actors and revising policies to prevent improper payments and reduce wasteful practices in Medicare and related programs. The agency encourages the public and providers to report suspicious claims or bills through specific hotlines and online portals, enhancing community involvement in fraud detection.
