Targeting fraud.
The Obama administration is ready to put the heat on fraud--with the new HEAT task force. It's just one way the government is going after fraud and abuse. With new approaches to collecting and crunching claims data, HHS is "figuring out how to effectively get that information from the contractors in to CMS and to us as quickly as possible. If someone is pushing thousands of claims on Monday, we don't want to learn about it 15 days later", says Lewis Morris, left, of HHS' inspector general's office.
