Description

The Social Security Administration (SSA) relies on medical evidence to determine whether the millions of new claimants each year qualify for disability benefits. This evidence -- and those who provide it -- have been the subject of intense scrutiny as questions have been raised about the potential for fraud schemes that include falsified medical evaluations. This report studied physician-assisted fraud in SSA's disability programs. It reviewed (1) how well SSA's policies and procedures are designed and implemented to detect and prevent physician-assisted fraud; and (2) the steps SSA is taking to improve its ability to prevent physician-assisted fraud. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
