  1. Feds Collect 21% Less from Health Fraud

    The federal government collected $2.6 billion in judgments and settlements from healthcare fraud prosecutions in 2017, 21% less than in the previous year. Of the $2.6 billion recovered, $1.4 billion was paid back to the Medicare Trust Funds and $406.7 million in federal Medicaid money was transferred to the U.S. Treasury.

    The fraud program is jointly run by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services. The number of criminal actions was up from 765 in 2016 to 788 in 2017, according to the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control program annual report. Civil actions increased from 690 to 818.
