| dc.description.abstract | Federal Medicaid and Medicare funding is being assaulted on an ever increasing level by fraud. It has been conservatively estimated that 10% of every federal health care dollar is lost to fraud in the United States. This study examines Medicaid fraud investigation by way of a real case example and published works. Undercover laboratory work was utilized to develop a case involving trafficking of beneficiary information and blood. Rent-a-patient, pill mills, drop boxes, and third-party billing are examples of four fraud schemes discussed. | |
