Reporting Medicaid Fraud

According to an NYT article the Federal Government is initiating a program January 1, 2007 that requires employers who do more than $5 million dollars in Medicare business need to train and educate their employees on how to detect and report fraud. The measure is designed to save taxpayer money and eliminate waste in the Medicare system. It is a brilliant idea to mobilize the front line employee who has the most contact with the customers in the battle against wasteful spending.
