$23 Billion in Payment Errors by Medicare

Would you mistakenly pay for something over and over again? Of course not. But what if it wasn’t your money? You may not care as much. Well, it turns out that “Medicare made more than $23 billion in improper payments in fiscal 2017, a government watchdog report found, largely due to scant or no documentation. The Government Accountability Office also looked at improper payments in Medicaid fee for service, which amounted to about $4.3 billion.”

That’s $27 BILLION in total!!

Unbelievable and yet many want the government to take over the healthcare system fully? Marone!
