Brady Seeks Feedback On Wide-Ranging Medicare Anti-Fraud Discussion Draft

Brady Seeks Feedback On Wide-Ranging Medicare Anti-Fraud Discussion Draft-insidehealthpolicy: House Ways & Means health subcommittee Chair Kevin Brady (R-TX) unveiled a discussion draft of the committee's anticipated wide-ranging bill to combat Medicare and Medicaid fraud that pulls ideas from a range of previously introduced bills, which Brady says could kick-start larger system changes. The discussion draft, floated Thursday (Aug. 7), is open for comment from stakeholders, and Brady says in a statement he hopes to get an anti-fraud bill passed on a bipartisan basis and signed into law this year. The goal is for the Protecting Integrity in Medicare Act to save money, but at minimum it needs to be budget neutral, Brady says.
