More than $2.25 trillion is spent on health care in the United States; of that, be?tween $68 billion to $225 billion is lost each year because of health care fraud and abuse. And it’s not all about losing your insurance card. “The majority of health care fraud is committed by a very small minority of dishonest health care providers,” says Barry Johnson, president of HealthCare Insight, which provides health care fraud and abuse surveillance services for health care claims payers.
