Is this related in any way to the amount of compensation seen for Medicaid patients? Just pondering...BD
More than 30,000 Medicaid providers, or about 5%, in seven states owe the federal government more than $1 billion in unpaid federal taxes for fiscal year 2006, according to an audit released Wednesday by the Government Accountability Office, USA Today reports (Wolf, USA Today, 11/14). The report, which will be discussed at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation hearing on Wednesday, follows a similar report in March that showed 21,000 federal health Medicare contractors and physicians failed to pay $1.3 billion in federal taxes in FY 2005 (Zhang, Wall Street Journal, 11/14). The Medicaid audit focused on providers in California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas (Frommer, AP/St. Paul Pioneer Press, 11/13).
"We need to figure out how to ... stop those Medicaid medical providers from putting taxpayer dollars into one pocket while stiffing Uncle Sam by dodging their taxes
