Latest Medicare Fraud Schemes Targeted $139.4M via Kickbacks
Health Payer Intelligence: Three Medicare fraud schemes in recent weeks have targeted a total $139.4 million, which led the Department of Justice (DoJ) to seek multiple convictions and a combined 33 years in prison sentences.
Each of the schemes involved the use of provider kickbacks, a popular criminal activity in healthcare, to entice healthcare professionals to inappropriately redirect clients and beneficiaries to specific healthcare businesses.
Law enforcement officials began their crackdown on Medicare fraud earlier in the year with a mix of provider convictions and settlements involving roughly $3 million dollars.
