Jetson Leder Luis PhD, Deputy Executive Director, White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and Assistant Professor (on leave) Boston University and NBER, will discuss addressing fraud in public programs, especially Medicare, and developing effective anti-fraud policy.
Presentation Title: “Fighting Healthcare Fraud: Research and Practice”
Abstract: Eliminating fraud in public healthcare programs is a matter of national priority and has generated substantial ongoing policymaking and administrative action. In this talk, Dr. Leder Luis will survey his findings from a set of recent economics research papers on healthcare fraud. Using data from the Medicare program, these studies address policy-relevant questions including the frequency and nature of different healthcare fraud schemes and the relative effectiveness of anti-fraud policies. These studies show that healthcare fraud is heterogeneous and that the policy solutions must be well-tailored to be effective. He will tie these findings to recent public anti-fraud actions by
CMS that reflect effective, evidence-based policies.
