Medicare fraud costs us all money in the form of possibly higher taxes and premiums. Not only does fraud waste money, it might even involve harm to patients who aren’t given the care they need or receive unnecessary care with potential side effects. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services even has an entire website dedicated to this problem at StopMedicareFraud.gov.

The truth is that Medicare fraud costs everybody money. If Medicare has to pay out more money because of fraud, the increases costs eventually get passed on to taxpayers and those who pay Medicare premiums. What’s scary is that it’s not average Medicare recipients knowingly or accidentally committing fraud. The people who commit the biggest acts of fraud are business people and professionals who really should know better.

One of the positive aspects of health reform on Medicare is the reduction of fraud. In fact, Medicare says that savings from the reduction of waste, abuse, and outright Medicare fraud have helped extend the Medicare Trust Fund for another 15 years. In the past, many senior citizens were duped into cooperating with criminals who stole millions of dollars from the government. These thefts drove up expenses and may have resulted in the reduction of necessary care. You can help do your part by recognizing potential scams and reporting them.
