The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has expanded its fraud enforcement efforts to include New York’s adult day care services, targeting potential billing abuses and improper payments under Medicare and Medicaid. Investigators are scrutinizing providers for overbilling, duplicate claims, and non-compliant care documentation, following broader crackdowns on healthcare fraud across the country. The move comes as part of ongoing efforts to ensure taxpayer funds are used appropriately in long-term care programs. Providers under review may face audits, penalties, or exclusion from federal healthcare programs if irregularities are confirmed.
