How to Find Medicare Enforcement Actions in Your State

It's hard to have missed the news that the Medicare Fraud Strike Force just charged 111 individuals for more than $225 million in false billing. The alleged frauds were committed in Florida, New York, California and Texas (among others). If you're wondering what the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team (HEAT) has been up to in your particular state, the HEAT website has an interactive map that allows you to search for news in your area. Interestingly, the states of New Mexico, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Indiana, Wisconsin, Delaware and Vermont do not have any news currently associated with it. We'll leave it up to you to determine whether those states have less fraudulent action than their peers.
