VGM Debuts FEAT Web Site

The VGM Group has launched a new Web site for the Fraud
Eradication Advisory Team (FEAT), which was formed in
conjunction with a group of industry stakeholders “as an effort to
maintain an ethical society within the home health care industry,”
the member services group said.

FEAT will operate as a sounding board for all stakeholders
including state associations, advocacy groups, manufacturers,
providers and beneficiaries to assist CMS in fighting fraud and
abuse, VGM said. To aid in the fight, the FEAT Web site offers an
electronic, user-friendly reporting tool to convey information
about suspected fraud or abuse of the Medicare program.
