Abstract

There is a rising tide of health care fraud in this country. And it is costing all of us upwards of $100 billion each year, adding to already skyrocketing medical costs. Many companies do not have adequate internal controls over their health care system. And even when they do, monitoring or auditing is lax. The authors explore the scope of these problems and offer practical advice on stemming the tide. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
