Government, Insurance Officials Crack Down on Healthcare Fraud

Government officials are teaming up with insurance executives to weed out fraudulent insurance claims for both government and private health plans, according to the Associated Press.

White House officials said a "trusted third party" will analyze data from Medicaid, Medicare and private health plans for suspicious patterns. Any red flags will be turned over to federal investigators.

Organizations expected to join the FBI in the partnership include America's Health Insurance Plans and Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
