The Problem

Medicaid fraud affects everyone. When providers steal from Medicaid, they decrease the resources available to the program. Residents living near the povertylevel, who would have been qualified for the program, might be excluded because of a lack of resources.

Medicaid fraud also reduces the quality of treatment as dishonest providers try to reduce costs and increase personal profit. To compensate for the fraud, states and the federal government must must either decrease services in other areas or raise taxes.

Fraud cases among family services providers have been drastically on the rise during the last ten years.  Many unscrupulous service providers have very often:

- Billed for unnecessary services

- Not performed intended services or have delivered            services of a lower quality

- Billed for more costly services than those actually                           performed

- Billed for purportedly covered services, which were                       not actually covered

- Billed for services utilizing inacurrate or fraudulent                         notes

The Need For User Friendly And Cost Effective Fraud Reduction Technology In Social Services

In order to ensure that the nature and quality of services delivered by a contractor are adequate to meet the public's expectations, both in respect of getting 'value for money and in ensuring the services delivered meet reasonable expectations, the service provider must always maintain impeccable records of the delivery of services.

The problems is that not enough focus has been placed on the development of applications that all service providers can utilize to avoid billing errors directly related to the delivery of services.   Additionally  systems should be put into place prior to payment for services.

The Solution

In today's economy, government agencies can ill afford to be lured into a false sense of security by relying on good service provider reputations and relationships.  It is essential that service providers document the specific services required and the level or quality of the services delivered.

Unfortunately, several private community based or school based service providers cited for improper billing activity were simply victims of poor record keeping but reflected the appearance of unlawful activity.  In an effort to eliminate fraud and minimize the potential for the appearance of impropriety due to poor record maintenance, EdStar has developed a more efficient application to document the delivery of intended, covered services that can also be utilized by any service provider or agency.

At  EdStar Wireless, we firmly believe that the nature of the services that we provide are such that precise and objective service definitions and standards are imperative.  No matter if we are providing services for public schools, community supervision agencies, courts, social service agencies or other referral sources, our proprietary technology provides up to the minute reporting and access to that data is always available to any authorized referral source staff member.
