The book reviewed is License to Steal: Why Fraud Plagues America's Health Care System, by Malcolm Sparrow. Sparrow states that the extent of fraud is never measured and is instead merely estimated, and he contends that this results in a massive underestimation in the need for fraud control methods. To handle this growing problem, Sparrow offers suggestions to lawmakers, such as educating staff about fraud indicators, and one of his recommendations is that states should carefully quantify their fraud losses before embarking on a fraud detection program. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
