WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, announced a hearing titled Common Schemes, Real Harm: Examining Fraud in Medicare and Medicaid.

“The goal of this hearing is to understand current trends in fraud schemes targeting Medicare and Medicaid nationwide—how taxpayer dollars are being wasted, how beneficiaries are affected, and how transnational crime organizations are increasingly involved—and explore ways to better prevent and detect fraud,” said Chairmen Guthrie and Joyce. “As fraud schemes are being perpetrated across the United States, it’s important we recognize that we cannot preserve our Medicare and Medicaid programs for our most vulnerable if we don’t combat destructive fraud that is draining the system. We applaud actions that the Trump Administration has already taken to address these schemes, and we look forward to continuing to explore, and implement, solutions that root out fraud in our government health programs.”
