Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz is on a serious tear to root out fraud from Medicare. Fraud that has been embedded within this program for decades.
Minnesota was just the starting place, and thanks to the video exposés by YouTuber Nick Shirley, the story finally went national, gaining everyone’s attention. Then Dr. Oz moved to California, and its hospice care fraud, among other areas of malfeasance. In regard to this particular brand of fraud, Dr. Oz compared Minnesota to California and said California is “the Varsity team.”
Days after outing California, Dr. Oz found the same pattern of hospice fraud in Nevada.
