Clinton outlines Medicare fraud crackdown to save billions
President Clinton proposes a budget package aimed at cutting waste and fraud in Medicare to save at least 2.1 billion dollars. The plan requires eliminating markups on drug prices, aligning Medicare reimbursements with market costs, restricting payments for unprovided or limited services, and boosting contractor fraud detection with new bidding and oversight. It also encompasses reporting requirements for private insurers, tougher repayment recovery, and a push toward appropriate reimbursement standards and contractor performance.
