Pursuit's Take
During FY2015, the Federal Government won or negotiated over $1.9 billion in judgments and settlements, and attained additional administrative impositions in health care fraud cases and proceedings. As a result of these efforts, as well as those of preceding years, approximately $2.4 billion was returned to the Federal Government or private persons. Of this $2.4 billion, the Medicare Trust Funds received transfers of approximately $1.6 billion during this period; and another $135.9 million in Federal Medicaid money was transferred to the Treasury separately as a result of these efforts.
The return on investment (ROI) for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program (HCFAC) program over the last three years (2013-2015) is $6.10 returned for every $1.00 expended.
