HELP STOP MEDICARE FRAUD and ABUSE

medicareoutreach.org

Medicare fraud and abuse is a serious problem that costs taxpayers billions of dollars a year.
You can help reduce fraud and abuse by questioning Medicare statements when you don't understand a billed service and reporting fraud and abuse when you find it.

Rampant fraud and abuse causes the number and quality of Medicare and Medicaid services to be reduced. It causes Medicare premiums and deductibles to be increased.

Please protect yourself and others by learning to recognize and report Medicare Fraud and Abuse.

Just how much does Medicare Fraud and Abuse cost us as taxpayers?

The United States General Accounting Office estimates that $1 out of every $7 spent on Medicare is lost to fraud and abuse. In 1999 alone, Medicare lost nearly $13.5 billion to fraudulent or unnecessary claims.

This problem affects all Americans. It affects those who depend on Medicare by diminishing the quality of treatment they receive. It affects caregivers by decreasing the funding available for important programs. And it affects everyone who pays taxes by wasting billions of tax dollars.
