Massive National Health Care Fraud Takedown
Last week, the OIG reported charges against 301 individuals for approximately $900 Million in false billing as part of the largest false claim takedown. The takedown focused on a broad range of providers including home health companies, physicians, physical and occupational therapy clinics, infusion clinics, mental health providers, DME suppliers, and compounding pharmacies. Of importance, the takedown focused on staying “a step ahead of emerging fraud trends, including drug diversion, and fraud involving compounded medications and hospice care.”
