OT Medicare savings

Post by jbenenson » Sun Dec 05, 2010 4:53 pm

As part of the new Health Care Reform, $350 million has been added to fight Medicare fraud. Changes also include stricter sentences for those who commit crimes and more oversight for companies allowed to bill Medicare.

During 2009, the federal government won or negotiated approximately $1.63 billion in judgments and settlements involving health care fraud cases and proceedings, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report.

Because this is factual I will not read replies to this post,
Never, never, never, never say never

Is it factual because YOU say so, or is there a cite that you conveniently left out, that we should read to put any faith in your post.
