title: Government launches major antifraud initiative.
abstract: Operation Restore Trust, a two-year intergovernmental demonstration project, was enacted in 1995 as an effort to curb Medicare/Medicaid fraud and abuse violations. This initiative targets five states with the most Medicare beneficiaries. If successful, Operation Restore Trust probably will be expanded to other states.
