American Association for Homecare and its members are committed to doing our part to stop waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare's home medical equipment sector (HME). That is why we developed a comprehensive Medicare Anti-Fraud Legislative Plan.

The Association has advocated Congress to adopt this legislative action plan that proposes tough, effective measures to stop waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare's home medical equipment sector.
- The American Association for Homecare’s Medicare Anti-Fraud Legislative Plan proposes 13 tough, targeted recommendations to stop fraud and abuse in the homecare sector.
- This bold legislative action plan targets the source of the problem—stopping fraud and abuse where it starts in the system.
- This preventative plan is designed to stop fraud in the system BEFORE it starts, saving taxpayers’ millions of dollars in criminal prosecution.
- The Association is advocating Congress and regulators to enact the tough, effective measures outlined in this plan to combat Medicare fraud.
- The Association and its members want to work together with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to fight fraud and abuse.
- This plan would eliminate most of the Medicare fraud attributed to the home medical equipment sector.
- This proactive solution is far more effective than unnecessary Medicare cuts or price controls (such as so-called “competitive” bidding) to the homecare medical equipment sector that only harm patients and seniors.
- This action plan is a tangible demonstration of our homecare providers’ commitment to stopping fraud and abuse in the homecare sector.
