CMS Program Integrity Modules

CMS is promoting two new program integrity modules. The modules are located on the Medscape website here and are also attached to this email. The first module, “Reducing Medicare and Medicaid Fraud and Abuse: Protecting Practices and Patients,” relates to CMS’ provider-focused materials in the Fraud Awareness & Prevention Month Toolkit. It is posted here . The second module, “How CMS Is Fighting Fraud: Major Program Integrity Initiatives,” describes strategies that CMS has undertaken to detect and to prevent fraud and abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This module is posted  here. Continuing medical education (CME) credit can be earned for any user registered as a doctor or health care professional. Medscape accounts are free and users do not have to be health care professionals to register for one. Registration is on the landing page of www.medscape.com.
