Fraud Collaboration

Federal Law Enforcement Agencies routinely uncover health care fraud schemes involving Durable Medical Equipment (DME) that were not medically necessary or were never received.

Be diligent in identifying sudden increases in medical spending across your ACO. Specifically, be sure to review Part B DME claims. Be suspicious of any DME claims with an ordering provider who the patient has never seen before. If a specific claim seems unusual or medically unnecessary, report the concern for review. Timely reporting of suspicious claims can result in fraudulent claims being removed, reducing the penalty to your ACO and performance payments.

When a suspicious DME claim has been identified reach out to the impacted patients to determine if they received the equipment. For each suspected DME provider, a minimum of 7 patients must confirm that they did not receive the equipment that was billed and paid by Medicare. After 7 signed attestations and 75% determined to be fraudulent have been collected, report suspicious companies to the SE UPIC contractor, Safeguard Services and the Office of the Inspector General.
