The Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced a major new initiative to detect and prevent fraud, waste and abuse in VA. The initiative will include bringing in the leading thinkers from the private sector and other government organizations in an advisory committee to identify and leverage cutting-edge fraud detection tools; and coordinate all fraud, waste and abuse detection and reporting activities across the Department through a single office. The Department has identified potential savings in the area of improper payments to health care providers, major contracts, contracts for pharmaceuticals, and the delivery of benefits to veterans.
