The Sixty Minutes segment didn't get into private insurance fraud. But, it exists, on a scale I'm sure equal to Medicare's. You're FOS. Private insurers realize they have to stop it and they do a good job of it. They spend the money to do so. More than 70% of private insurance companies actually use fraud detection software in claims processing, which is what needs to happen with Medicare and Medicaid. Your previous posts clearly indicate you have no idea what's involved here. What was reported on last night was the most egregious form of Medicare fraud. It didn't even discuss the issues of upcoding, for example, which Medicare performs EVEN WORSE at catching. It didn't discuss non-emergency transportation fraud, which has sucked state Medicaid programs dry all over the country. This is a subject you are clearly ignorant about. Best to move on.
