abuse.

Next, search the Internet and select an article $($within $5$ years$)$ of a healthcare provider being charged with fraud or abuse. A good place to look for recent

fraud$/$abuse cases is the Office of Inspector General website. Access the Medicare Fraud Strike Force and Medicaid Fraud Control Units sections to see details

on recent cases. Summarize the article, and specifically identify what laws were violated by this provider.

Finally, discuss what policies and procedures a facility can have in place to identify and monitor abuse and$/$or fraudulent trends including using data analysis.

Detail a specific data analysis method a facility can use to avoid cases of fraud or abuse $($example: reviewing prescription records$).$
