Reports: Federal government paid $120M in Medicare services for prisoners, illegal immigrants

January 24, 2013

Under federal law, Medicare generally does not pay for services for either group of patients. But the program was billed for more than $33 million in inmate care and more than $91 million for illegal immigrant care over that period, according to the reports from the Department of Health and Human Services inspector general.http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/d14d2244a1c0494a88aeb5a14dc1131a/US–Medicare-Fraud-Paying-For-PrisonersBy KELLI KENNEDY Associated Press
