What to Know About Healthcare Fraud, Waste and Abuse

Healthcare costs continue to escalate, due in part to fraud, waste and abuse (FWA). This FWA can have serious negative consequences on patients and medical practices. The government has identified that general compliance and FWA training for Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) and Prescription Drug Benefit (Medicare Part D) plan sponsors is a requirement of all healthcare entities. This course is not intended to replace Medicare Provider Agreement compliance program and training requirements for Parts C and D plan sponsors. However, it will help prepare participants for these programs or refresh your knowledge of them.

• Identify consequences of FWA on patients and medical practices
