How to Identify and Report Medicare Fraud
Medicare fraud is when a person knowingly submits false information or misuses the Medicare system to achieve personal financial gain or to receive benefits for which they are ineligible. Medicare has numerous official channels for reporting suspected fraud. While estimates vary, the Senior Medicare Patrol reports that Medicare losses due to fraud could be as high as $60 billion annually. What's clear is that Medicare fraud and abuse are pervasive, put significant stress on the system, and have the ability to affect the care that older adults receive. Medicare fraud can be perpetrated by various people and organizations, including healthcare providers, such as doctors, clinics, or hospitals, as well as criminal groups and individuals. In this article, we'll discuss what Medicare fraud is, how to identify it, and where to report it. Common types of Medicare fraud Medicare fraud can take many forms and can affect both beneficiaries and providers. Common types of Medicare fraud include: Medical identity theft: This can take many forms. It could involve using another person's Medicare number to obtain healthcare services or benefits or using a physician's identifier to fill prescriptions. Billing for unnecessary services: Under Medicare regulations, many procedures only receive coverage if they're considered medically necessary. If a provider intentionally bills for unnecessary procedures, it is a form of fraud. Kickbacks: Kickbacks are when a provider receives some form of compensation in exchange for referrals or utilization of services. An example would be a doctor who receives personal payment from a lab facility for referring patients. Billing for services never rendered: This is when a provider bills Medicare for services or procedures it never actually administered. It may involve falsifying documentation to create the appearance of authenticity. Upcoding and unbundling of services: Upcoding involves billing for services at a higher complexity than those actually rendered. Unbundling involves submitting bills in a staggered fashion to maximize payment when Medicare requires that those bills be submitted together to reduce costs. Vigilance is important in matters related to Medicare and billing. Understanding what to look for can help you identify fraud in practice. As a consumer and Medicare beneficiary, be sure to regularly check your Medicare claims and keep an eye out for irregularities. Look for: unfamiliar charges on your Medicare summary notice line items for services you didn't receive bills from unfamiliar providers If you have regular contact with a healthcare professional, facility, or other provider, you may notice trends that could signal potential fraud. These include: unusual billing patterns geographic anomalies suspicious documentation patient complaints How to report Medicare fraud If you suspect fraud may be occurring with a given provider, it's important to notify the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Reporting suspected fraud, waste, or abuse in Medicare programs is key to protecting both the integrity of the Medicare system and the individuals it serves. You can do this in various ways: Contact Medicare by phone at 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227). Submit a complaint online with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS-OIG). Contact the HSS-OIG by phone at 800-HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477). Individuals with a private Medicare plan, such as a Medicare Advantage (Part C) or Part D plan, can also reach out to the Investigations Medicare Drug Integrity Contractor (I-MEDIC) with fraud complaints. You can reach I-MEDIC by phone at 877-772-3379. Before filing a complaint, it's important to collect all relevant documentation to back up your claim. This includes: your Medicare number the subject of your complaint, including information that can identify them the service in question and the date of receipt the cost of the service Summary Fraud and abuse cost Medicare billions of dollars each year. Reporting Medicare fraud is important for protecting individuals and maintaining the integrity of the Medicare system. Always guard your Medicare card, number, and other personal medical information. Additionally, review your Medicare summary notices routinely for irregularities that suggest inappropriate billing. If you think you were billed incorrectly, consider contacting Medicare for clarification. While errors happen, and not all errors are due to fraud, it's best to be safe and report your concerns.

5-year-old Ohio boy dies after being left in hot car, police say
Family urges better technology to help remind drivers of children in back seat of cars A 5-year-old boy in Mansfield, Ohio, died after being left in a hot vehicle on Thursday, police said. According to CBS affiliate WBNS, Mansfield Police Chief Jason Bammann said the boy was found unresponsive in the vehicle after being left inside during the extreme heat for "an extended length of time." Police were reportedly called to Marion Avenue around 3:15 p.m. for a report of an unresponsive child in a vehicle on Thursday. WBNS reported that first responders arrived at the scene and found the boy in his mother's arms. The child was taken to a local hospital, where he died. Temperatures in Mansfield reached a high of 91 degrees on Thursday. "Our hearts are heavy for the family of this young child. Any case involving a child carries a deep emotional impact, and this incident is no exception," said Chief Bammann, according to the TV station. Police are investigating and awaiting the results of the boy's autopsy before the case is presented to the Richland County Prosecutor's Office, WBNS reported. No official charges have been filed as of Friday evening. Preventing hot car deaths This is the first hot car death in Ohio in 2025, according to Kids and Car Safety. Advocates have been calling for better safety technology to help prevent hot car deaths. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 39 children died of heatstroke in vehicles in 2024, an increase of 35 percent from 2023. Officials said a child's body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult's. Experts remind people to check their vehicles before locking the doors and walking away. "Over 50% of pediatric vehicular heatstroke deaths are a result of a parent or caregiver forgetting a child in a car," the NHTSA said. If you ever see a child alone in a vehicle, call 911.

Molly Bish disappeared 25 years ago in Massachusetts. Her family says "we haven't given up" on the case.
Friday marks 25 years since Molly Bish disappeared in Warren, Massachusetts. On June 27, 2000, her mother Magi dropped the 16-year-old off at her lifeguarding job at Comins Pond. Magi Bish was the last person to see her daughter before she went missing. Molly's shoes and her lifeguard kit were left behind on the beach. "We knew Molly would never leave her post. And unfortunately we knew that was really a scary beginning of what came along," Magi Bish told WBZ-TV in an interview on Friday. "We didn't find Molly for three years. It was horrendous." Her remains were found in the woods nearly three years later. But even though a deceased person of interest was named in 2021, the case still remains unsolved. Remembering Molly Bish Molly's older sister Heather says grief comes and goes "like a tsunami." "There's all these dates. Birthdays and Christmas and the day they found Molly's skull and the day she was abducted," Heather Bish said. "You have all these dates that come up throughout the year that can be really hard days." She remembers her little sister as a tomboy who loved playing sports and impersonating "Forrest Gump." She said Molly was so proud to be working as a lifeguard. "I took a lot of responsibility for her at a very young age and perhaps that's why I feel so desperate to find out what happened to her," Heather Bish said. "And sometimes I feel really cheated that I didn't get that adult relationship with her. We were just beginning to have to have that." Despite all the time that has passed, Magi Bish said "we haven't given up." "You can't give up because we promised Molly we'd never, never forget her, never let her down," Bish said. "Today we feel very optimistic that someday this case will be solved. There's newer ideas, new DNA, new people on the case." "Molly's Love" A candlelight vigil will be held Saturday in Warren. The Bish family, who have become advocates for missing children over the years, say they are grateful for all the support they've received since Molly's disappearance. They say they're still inspired by "Molly's love." "Molly's love continues to this day by all the outpouring of people who come and help us," Magi Bish said. "And maybe we've helped a lot of people by giving them new laws, giving them legislation that would protect them, but I think we've been the recipients of much love."
