The Trump administration is going after healthcare fraudsters and going big.
The Department of Justice has charged hundreds of individuals in one of the largest coordinated anti-fraud operations in US history, CNN reported Monday. The crackdown targets bogus Medicare and Medicaid billing schemes worth billions of dollars, spanning multiple states and sweeping up doctors, clinic owners and healthcare workers allegedly involved in kickbacks, fake services and billing fraud.
Authorities say the operation is part of a broader push to protect federal health programs and claw back stolen taxpayer money. The administration has framed it as a major accountability drive a signal that waste and abuse in the healthcare system are firmly in its crosshairs.
