Medicaid Chief Blasts Probers Overstating Fraud Costs
Washington AP government efforts to clean up Medicaid are woefully inadequate says Medicaid commissioner M. Keith Weikel. He claims Senate investigators inflate fraud costs, estimating 25 to 50 percent misspending, versus his 5 to 10 percent guess. He urges broader funding and a centralized unit to curb fraud nationwide. He notes most providers are honest despite a minority of culprits. Senate hearings feature doctors admitting overbilling and criticising the system’s incentives.
