Dr. Oz: Half of the Fraud in the Federal Gov’t, ‘Could Be Coming Out of Healthcare Services’

EXCERPT:

OZ: “In February, we had the largest anti-fraud announcement from CMS the day after the State of the Union address in which the president created this task force and appointed the vice president to lead it. Today’s effort is larger. It’s much larger, and there’s a reason for that. Half of the fraud, we believe, in the federal government could be coming out of health care services. We’re a large rhino that can be stabbed effortlessly by foreign governments, syndicated criminal entities, and smaller time operators, who can take advantage of the system with, as Andrew pointed out, as little as a Medicare beneficiary number, which is basically a credit card to defraud this system.”
