Protecting Seniors from Health Care Fraud Act of 2023

The Protecting Seniors from Health Care Fraud Act of 2023 requires the Department of Health and Human Services to create and distribute annual reports identifying the top 10 health care fraud schemes targeting seniors, along with strategies to combat them. These reports, updated quarterly, will be mailed directly to all Medicare beneficiaries and included in their quarterly Medicare summary notices. The reports must include prevalence trends, protective actions for seniors, and policy suggestions, and will be posted online in both English and Spanish. This law directly affects Medicare beneficiaries (seniors) and mandates government agencies like HHS, the Justice Department, and Medicare administrative contractors to gather and share fraud data from sources like Medicare hotlines and senior protection programs.
