Congressman Van Drew Demands Action Against Medicare Fraud FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Congressman Jeff Van Drew addressed the following LTR to DHHS on Medicare Fraud.pdf to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administrator Seema Verma regarding the exploitation of seniors and Medicare recipients and abuse of the Medicare system. Following a string of allegations on Tuesday the CEOs, COOs, and other associated with five telemedicine companies, the owners of dozens of durable medical equipment (DME) companies, and three licensed medical professionals were charged with fraudulent activity. “In addition to dealing with call spoofing and robocalls with acts like the Robocall Enforcement Enhancement Act, the American people require a larger scale approach. We must protect our Seniors and I call on DHHS to immediately do what is right and make seniors aware of the threat, as well as do all they can to fix the issue,” said Congressman Van Drew.
