摘要

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the Congressprovided important new resources and tools to fight health care fraud, abuse, and inappropriate payments. These new resources include increased funding for anti-fraud-and-abuse activities for the HHS OIG and the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), as well as for the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. HIPAA also established the Medicare Integrity Program, which ensures increasing funding for HCFA's Medicare program safeguard efforts and authorizes the hiring of specialized anti-fraud contractors. The Congress also mandated that we periodically report on such aspects of the Medicare Trust Fund as the Comptroller General considers appropriate. Although HIPAA required us to report beginning on January 1, 2000, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 advanced the initial reporting data to June 1, 1998. To address this requirements, we have assessed Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA's) progress in implementing the Medicare Integrity Program. Specifically, we are providing information on (1) what additional resources and authorities the Congress provided to HCFA through the Medicare Integrity Program, (2) how HCFA has made use of these resources and authorities to improve the protection of Medicare funds, and (3) how HCFA plans to use these authorities and resources in the future.
