CMS Fraud Prevention Training Modules (TDL
12472)
In June
2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) produced two fraud
prevention training modules that are currently available on the Medscape
website. These modules provide key information to health care practitioners and
professionals on how they can assist CMS in preventing fraud and abuse, as well
as highlight CMS’ efforts to fight fraud and abuse and explain how health care
professionals can be part of these efforts.
The first
module, “Reducing Medicare and Medicaid Fraud and Abuse: Protecting Practices
and Patients,” presents CMS’ provider-focused fraud awareness and prevention
initiatives. The goal of this activity is to provide health care professionals
with actionable ideas for working with CMS and other agencies that investigate
suspected fraud and abuse. This module also informs providers about how they
can reduce the risk of fraud and abuse for their practices and patients. This
module can be found here: <URL Redacted>
The goal
of the second module, “How CMS Is Fighting Fraud: Major Program Integrity
Initiatives,” describes recent and on-going strategies that CMS has undertaken
to detect and to prevent fraud and abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The goal of this activity is to increase awareness amongst providers about the
strategies CMS has undertaken to detect and to prevent fraud and abuse in the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. This module can be found here: <URL Redacted>
The
modules feature Dr. Peter Budetti, Deputy Administrator of the Center for
Program Integrity; Dr. Shantanu Agrawal, Medical Director of the Center for
Program Integrity; and Mary Agnes Laureno, former Deputy Director of the Center
for Program Integrity.
A total of
1.25 hours of continuing medical education (CME) credit can be earned for any
Medscape user registered as a doctor or health care professional. Medscape
accounts are free, and users do not have to be health care professionals to
register for them. Registration is on the landing page of www.medscape.com.
