| Abstract | My job is to prevent and eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse in the many programs of the Department of Health and Human Services, including Medicare and Medicaid. The Office of Inspector General uncovers innocent errors, carelessness, mismanagement, exploitation of the programs, malfeasance, and outright fraud every day. Improper behaviors include providers billing for services not rendered, falsification of diagnoses, and unnecessary tests or services, abusing and neglecting beneficiaries, and accepting kickbacks. These activities cost taxpayers billions in lost and wasted dollars and deprive vulnerable beneficiaries of the care and support they need. |
