Successful Weight Management -HEALTH CARE FRAUD | uxa2.com

Today, health care fraud is weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan1″>everywhere the news. There undoubtedly is fraud in health care. weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan2″>an equivalent is true weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan3″>for each business or endeavor touched by human hands, e.g. banking, credit, insurance, politics, etc. weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan4″>there’s weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan5″>no doubt that health care providers who abuse their position and our trust to steal are weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan6″>a drag . So are those from other professions who do weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan7″>an equivalent .

Why does health care fraud appear weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan8″>to urge the ‘lions-share’ of attention? Could weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan9″>it’s that weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan10″>it’s weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan11″>the right vehicle to drive agendas for divergent groups where taxpayers, health care consumers and health care providers are dupes weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan12″>during a health care fraud shell-game operated with ‘sleight-of-hand’ precision?

Take weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan13″>a better look and one finds weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan14″>this is often no game-of-chance. Taxpayers, consumers and providers always lose because weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan15″>the matter with health care fraud weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan16″>isn’t just the fraud, but weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan17″>it’s that our government and insurers use the fraud problem to further agendas while at weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan18″>an equivalent time fail to be accountable and take responsibility for a fraud problem they facilitate weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan19″>and permit to flourish.

1. Astronomical Cost Estimates

What better weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan20″>thanks to report on fraud then to tout fraud cost estimates, e.g.

– “Fraud perpetrated against both public weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan21″>and personal health plans costs between $72 and $220 billion annually, increasing weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan22″>the value of weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan23″>medical aid and weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan24″>insurance and undermining weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan25″>charitable trust in our health care system… weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan26″>it’s weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan27″>not a secret that fraud represents weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan28″>one among the fastest growing and weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan29″>most expensive weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan30″>sorts of crime in America today… We pay these costs as taxpayers weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan31″>and thru higher weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan32″>insurance premiums… We must be proactive in combating health care fraud and abuse… We must also weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan33″>make sure that weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan34″>enforcement has the tools that it weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan35″>must deter, detect, and punish health care fraud.” [Senator Ted Kaufman (D-DE), 10/28/09 press release]

– weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan36″>the overall Accounting Office (GAO) estimates that fraud in healthcare ranges from $60 billion to $600 billion weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan37″>per annum – or anywhere between 3% and 10% of the $2 trillion health care budget. [Health Care Finance News reports, 10/2/09] The GAO weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan38″>is that the investigative arm of Congress.

– The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA) reports over $54 billion is stolen weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan39″>per annum in scams designed weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan40″>to stay us and our insurance companies with fraudulent and illegal medical charges. [NHCAA, web-site] NHCAA was created and is funded by weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan41″>insurance companies.

Unfortunately, the reliability of the purported estimates is dubious weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan42″>at the best . Insurers, state and federal agencies, weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan43″>et al. may gather fraud data weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan44″>associated with their own missions, where weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan45″>the type , quality and volume weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan46″>of knowledge compiled varies widely. David Hyman, professor of Law, University of Maryland, tells us that the widely-disseminated estimates of the incidence of health care fraud and abuse (assumed to be 10% of total spending) lacks any empirical foundation weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan47″>in the least , weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan48″>the small we do weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan49″>realize health care fraud and abuse is dwarfed by what weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan50″>we do not know and what weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan51″>we all know weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan52″>that’s not so. [The Cato Journal, 3/22/02]

2. Health Care Standards

The laws & rules governing health care – vary from state to state and from payor to payor – are extensive weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan53″>and really confusing for providers weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan54″>et al. weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan55″>to know as weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan56″>they’re written in legalese and not plain speak.

Providers use specific codes to report conditions treated (ICD-9) and services rendered (CPT-4 and HCPCS). These codes are used when seeking compensation from payors for services rendered to patients. Although created to universally apply to facilitate accurate reporting to reflect providers’ services, many insurers instruct providers to report codes weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan57″>supported what the insurer’s computer editing programs recognize – not on what the provider rendered. Further, practice building consultants instruct providers on what codes to weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan58″>report back to get paid – in some cases codes that weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan59″>don’t accurately reflect the provider’s service.

Consumers know what services they receive from their doctor or other provider but weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan60″>might not have a clue weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan61″>on what those billing codes or service descriptors mean on explanation weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan62″>of advantages received from insurers. This lack of understanding may weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan63″>end in consumers moving on without gaining clarification of what the codes mean, or may weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan64″>end in some believing they were improperly billed. The multitude of insurance plans available today, with varying levels of coverage, ad a wild card to the equation when services are denied for non-coverage – especially if weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan65″>it’s Medicare that denotes non-covered services as not medically necessary.

3. Proactively addressing the health care fraud problem

The government and insurers do weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan67″>little or no to proactively address weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan68″>the matter with tangible activities weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan69″>which will weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan70″>end in detecting inappropriate claims before weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan71″>they’re paid. Indeed, payors of health care claims proclaim weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan72″>to work a payment system weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan73″>supported trust that providers bill accurately for services rendered, as weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan74″>they will not review every claim before payment weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan75″>is formed because the reimbursement system would weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan76″>pack up .

They claim to use sophisticated computer programs weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan77″>to seem for errors and patterns in claims, have increased pre- and post-payment audits of selected providers to detect fraud, and have created consortiums and task forces consisting of law enforcers and insurance investigators weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan78″>to review weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan79″>the matter and share fraud information. However, this activity, for weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan80″>the foremost part, is weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan81″>handling activity after the claim is paid and has little weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan82″>pertaining to the proactive detection of fraud.

4. Exorcise health care fraud with the creation weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan83″>of latest laws

The government’s reports on the fraud problem are published in earnest in conjunction with efforts to reform our health care system, and our experience shows us that it ultimately weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan84″>leads to weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan85″>the govt introducing and enacting new laws – presuming new laws will weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan86″>end in more fraud detected, investigated and prosecuted – without establishing how new laws will accomplish this more effectively than existing laws that weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan87″>weren’t weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan88″>wont to their full potential.

With such efforts in 1996, we got the weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan89″>insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan90″>it had been enacted by Congress weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan91″>to deal with insurance portability and accountability for patient privacy and health care fraud and abuse. HIPAA purportedly was to equip federal law enforcers and prosecutors with the tools to attack fraud, and resulted weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan92″>within the creation of weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan93″>variety weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan94″>of latest health care fraud statutes, including: Health Care Fraud, Theft or Embezzlement in Health Care, Obstructing Criminal Investigation of Health Care, and False Statements weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan95″>concerning Health Care Fraud Matters.

In 2009, the Health Care Fraud Enforcement Act appeared on the scene. This act has recently been introduced by Congress with promises that weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan96″>it’ll weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan97″>repose on fraud prevention efforts and strengthen the governments’ capacity weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan98″>to research and prosecute waste, fraud and abuse in both government weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan99″>and personal weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan100″>insurance by sentencing increases; redefining health care fraud offense; improving whistleblower claims; creating common-sense weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan101″>psychological state requirement for health care fraud offenses; and increasing funding in federal antifraud spending.

Undoubtedly, law enforcers and prosecutors MUST have the tools to effectively do their jobs. However, these actions alone, without inclusion of some tangible and significant before-the-claim-is-paid actions, will have little impact on reducing the occurrence of weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan102″>the matter .

What’s one person’s fraud (insurer alleging medically unnecessary services) is another person’s savior (provider administering tests to defend against potential lawsuits from legal sharks). Is tort reform weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan103″>an opportunity from those pushing for health care reform? Unfortunately, weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan104″>it’s not! Support for legislation placing new and onerous requirements on providers weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan105″>within the name of fighting fraud, however, weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan106″>doesn’t appear to be weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan107″>a drag .

If Congress really wants to use its legislative powers weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan108″>to form a difference on the fraud problem weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan109″>they need to think outside-the-box of what has already been weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan110″>wiped out some form or fashion. weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan111″>specialise in some front-end activity that deals with addressing the fraud before it happens. weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan112″>the subsequent are illustrative of steps weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan113″>that would be taken in weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan114″>an attempt to stem-the-tide on fraud and abuse:

– DEMAND all payors and providers, suppliers weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan115″>et al. only use approved coding systems, where the codes are clearly defined for ALL weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan116″>to understand and understand what weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan117″>the precise code means. Prohibit anyone from deviating from the defined meaning when reporting services rendered (providers, suppliers) and adjudicating claims for payment (payors and others). Make violations a strict liability issue.

– REQUIRE weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan118″>that each one submitted claims to public weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan119″>and personal insurers be signed or annotated in some fashion by the patient (or appropriate representative) affirming they received the reported and billed services. If such affirmation weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan120″>isn’t present claim isn’t paid. If the claim is later determined to be problematic investigators have weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan121″>the power weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan122″>to speak with both the provider weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan123″>and therefore the patient…

– REQUIRE weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan124″>that each one claims-handlers (especially if weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan125″>they need authority to pay claims), consultants retained by insurers weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan126″>to help on adjudicating claims, and fraud investigators be certified by a national accrediting company under the purview of weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan127″>the govt to exhibit that weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan128″>they need the requisite understanding for recognizing health care fraud, weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan129″>and therefore the knowledge to detect and investigate the fraud in health care claims. If such accreditation weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan130″>isn’t obtained, then neither weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan131″>the worker nor the consultant would be permitted weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan132″>to the touch a health care claim or investigate suspected health care fraud.

– PROHIBIT public weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan133″>and personal payors from asserting fraud on claims previously paid where weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan134″>it’s established that the payor knew or should have known the claim was improper weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan135″>and will not weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan136″>are paid. And, in those cases where fraud is established in paid claims any monies collected from providers and suppliers for overpayments be deposited into a national account to fund various fraud and abuse weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan137″>education schemes for consumers, insurers, law enforcers, prosecutors, legislators and others; fund front-line investigators for state health care regulatory boards weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan138″>to research fraud in their respective jurisdictions; weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan139″>also as funding other health care related activity.

– PROHIBIT insurers from raising premiums of policyholders weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan140″>supported estimates of the occurrence of fraud. Require insurers weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan141″>to determine a factual basis for purported losses attributed to fraud weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan142″>including showing tangible proof of their efforts to detect and investigate fraud, weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan143″>also as not paying fraudulent claims.

5. Insurers are victims of health care fraud

Insurers, as weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan144″>a daily course of business, offer reports on fraud to present themselves as victims of fraud by deviant providers and suppliers.

It is disingenuous for insurers to proclaim victim-status weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan146″>once they have weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan147″>the power to review claims before weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan148″>they’re paid, but choose weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan149″>to not because weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan150″>it might impact the flow of the reimbursement system weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan151″>that’s under-staffed. Further, for years, insurers have operated within a culture where fraudulent claims were just weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan152″>a neighborhood of weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan153″>the value of doing business. Then, because they were victims of the putative fraud, they pass these losses on to policyholders weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan154″>within the weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan155″>sort of higher premiums (despite the duty weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan156″>and skill to review claims before weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan157″>they’re paid). Do your premiums weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan158″>still rise?

Insurers make weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan159″>plenty weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan160″>of cash , and under the cloak of fraud-fighting, are now keeping more of it by alleging fraud in claims to avoid paying legitimate claims, weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan161″>also as going after monies paid on claims for services performed weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan162″>a few years prior from providers too petrified to fight-back. Additionally, many insurers, believing weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.3px; position: relative;” tool-tip=”faizan163″>a scarcity of responsiveness by law enforcers, file civil suits against providers and entities alleging fraud.
