AOA Represented at Fraud Prevention Summit
by  John CrosbyNo presence information  on 4/5/2012 4:33 PM

AOA staff attended a Health Care Fraud Prevention Summit in Chicago on 4/3/12.  The Summit, sponsored by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), focused on the use of data analytics, predictive modeling, and other technological tools to assist in the detection and prevention of health care fraud. Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney General, and Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), keynoted the event, emphasizing provisions in the Affordable Care Act that enable them to share HHS data with the Department of Justice (DOJ) in real-time.  This HHS and DOJ collaboration has resulted in 1,200 defendants charged in fraud cases worth $3.6 billion in fines and recovered funds. The Summit reinforced the fact that health care fraud and abuse is everyone’s problem, and collaboration is key to prevention.  ​
