Now pass something that says that my insurance company doesn't have the right to tell my doctor what and how to treat me! If the doctor prescribes something the insurance should cover it! It should be between me and my doctor would I take and don't take and what treatments I get!

So much unnecessary treatments & pharmaceuticals being subscribed. Hospitals are also keeping patients a day or two extra to get extra $$$. Lots of opportunities to catch fraud, waste & abuse.

What are you going to do about "facilitated fraud" on taxpayers? 340B, PBMs playing with discounts, site of service differential? These need politicians to act

The Advanage Plans are a ripoff of the seniors and Medicare

They're stealing from seniors as well. Why did they increase prescription drug deductible to $350? All companies did it, drugs go generic and they keep charging top tier giving the break to Walmart.

Will this reduce our Medicare premiums?

I noticed all of a sudden I’m seeing less MA plan denials for our clinic. I wonder if it’s because they know they’re about to be audited and want to clean things up

Don’t forget to tell everyone how you are working behind the scenes to help remove 13.7 million Americans from Medicaid.

Today, CMS notified Governor Walz and the state of Minnesota that we are deferring an additional $91 million in federal Medicaid funding. This follows a pattern we can’t ignore. From the “Learing Center” scandal to the recent DOJ action involving childcare centers, Minnesota’s Medicaid program has shown serious vulnerabilities to fraud. These are not isolated breakdowns—they point to systemic issues that must be addressed. Here’s the reality: the federal government funds roughly half of Medicaid. That gives CMS both the authority and the responsibility to ensure those dollars are spent legally and appropriately. When they’re not, we act. Earlier this year, after auditing Q4 FY2025 billing, we deferred over $250 million. Of the $91 million deferred: • $76 million is tied to 14 service categories highly vulnerable to fraud • $14 million involves program integrity concerns, including payments for ineligible individuals We’re giving Governor Walz as much support as we can to turn this around. However, we cannot and will not pay bad bills so we’re asking for more information from Minnesota to verify these bills. CMS will continue using every tool available to protect Medicaid’s integrity—because this program must serve the most vulnerable Americans, while honoring the trust of taxpayers. More updates to come. As always, I’m grateful to Vice President JD Vance’s leadership as CMS plays its part in the whole-of-government effort to root out fraud.

Finally, Dr. Oz shined a light on the even bigger problem lurking behind fraud: outright abuse and waste in the healthcare system. “And I'll leave you with one last thought,” he said. “In addition to the massive fraud, especially from foreign entities trying to invade America using their financial tools and criminal mindsets, we also have 25% of all of our money being spent probably subject to abuse.” He clarified the difference. “And that's not fraud. This is abuse and waste. Money not being used wisely.” To tackle this, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are rolling out a new model. “We just launched a new model called ‘Wiser’ with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation—that is looking at ways for us to identify inappropriate use of services, services that are wasteful and should not be offered to the American people because they could hurt them.” For Dr. Oz, this isn’t just about money. It’s also about keeping Americans safe. “They're not providing value for these wonderful Americans whose health is being taken advantage of to generate higher revenue for providers.” He closed with a promise that the fight isn’t stopping here. “We're not going to tolerate it anymore, and we're going to use data analytics, real-time monitoring—and unhesitating and unwavering pursuit of the law to make sure this happens.” This was a turning point in American healthcare. The era of waste, fraud and abuse is over.
