Medicare Fraud - Julie Brookhart Discusses How to Stay Safe on KIOS-FM

Health care fraud drives up costs for everyone in the health care system and many fraud schemes often depend on identity thieves and dishonest providers getting ahold of people’s Medicare card numbers and billing Medicare for benefits, services, and supplies that the Medicare person never received.

Julie Brookhart is the Public Affairs Specialist and works on the Regional External Affairs Team, in the Kansas City Regional Office of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and she joins Mike Hogan "Live & Local" to discuss how to combat fraud.
