Feds to Investigate Human Services Department New Mexico -

Regarding fraud, Medicare and Medicaid take the cake . Legislators and policy experts have long complained about how easy it is for the dishonest to charge the federal government for fraudulent charges. But Human Services Department now New Mexico (HSD) is charged with obstructing an investigation of fraud.

The allegations, according to The independent New Mexico are the Ministry of Health detained or sent "filtered" information on fraud and elder abuse cases to the investigators, this limiting Medicaid fraud Division ability to take cases of fraud to the court.

In addition to these allegations, the HSD also failed to detect Medicaid providers for criminal records. And they failed to check whether patients who receive funding programs actually receive care.

The HSD said they will work with the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) during the investigation. Still, it is regrettable that the state government is involved in this ongoing fight against fraud.
