The Department of Veterans Affairs, HHS, and CMS agreed to participate in a healthcare fraud prevention partnership that leverages data sharing to identify fraud and abuse within healthcare programs they collectively oversee.
The organizations announced in a press release that the VA plans to leverage CMS improvements in data analytics to enhance fraud detection and prevention efforts. CMS previously demonstrated success in fraud prevention analytics based on the results of the federal agency’s Center of Program Integrity implemented in 2010.
CMS estimated that the center helped save Medicare $17 billion during 2015 as a result of fraud prevention activities.
