CMS prevents $1.6B in fraudulent Medicare Laboratory payments

The US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) enforcement actions have stopped more than $1.6 billion in potentially improper Medicare laboratory payments since the start of the Trump Administration – further evidence that CMS’ efforts to crush fraud are working to protect taxpayer dollars and improve Medicare program integrity.

This includes $732 million in savings from the revocation of 157 fraudulent lab providers from the Medicare program.
