Health Care Fraud Investigations Pulling In $8 For Every Dollar Spent

Health Care Fraud Investigations Pulling In $8 For Every Dollar Spent: "WASHINGTON -- The government says it recovered almost $8 for each dollar it spent investigating health care fraud over the past three years, including a record $4.2 billion last year.

The $7.90 average return on investment is the highest in the 16-year history of the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Program. Since 1997, the program – a joint effort of the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services – has returned more than $23 billion to the Medicare trust funds."
