Treasury official Meade Whitaker told the Senate Finance Committee an audit found about half of doctors with 1968 Medicare Medicaid receipts of 2000 or more did not list all such income. He proposed a provision to require payments of 25 or more to IRS, enabling data matching to catch underreporting.
