Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., led several senators in a letter Wednesday demanding an audit of Medicare after reports of massive fraud emerged.
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., the ranking member on the Senate Special Committee on Aging, will send a letter to the Government Accountability Office Wednesday requesting a full audit of Medicare following recent reports of fraud. In a letter led by Braun, alongside Rick Scott, R-Fla., and JD Vance, R-Ohio, the senators will request GAO Comptroller General Gene Dodaro 'audit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ internal oversight reforms.
However, when the scammer obtains the personal Medicare information of individuals, 'monthly billing to Medicare will begin for medically unnecessary urinary catheters that may or may not actually be sent to the enrollee.' 'The victims of Medicare fraud are often the most vulnerable Americans. I’m calling for a full audit of Medicare, so we can get to the bottom of the rampant fraud, waste and abuse,' Braun said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
