Description

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) established a voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit, known as Medicare Part D. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) contracts with private companies to serve as Part D sponsors and administer the Part D prescription drug benefit plans. The MMA requires Part D sponsors to implement programs to control for fraud and abuse. This report examines: (1) the extent to which certain Part D sponsors have implemented programs to control fraud, waste, and abuse; and (2) the extent of CMS’s oversight of Part D sponsors’ programs to control fraud, waste, and abuse. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
