Summary
The bill lets the Health and Human Services Secretary contract with recovery‑audit firms to perform pre‑payment reviews of Medicare claims. It sets up a payment formula that rewards contractors for stopping improper payments and funds these contracts from Medicare trust funds. The goal is to catch errors earlier and save money for the program.
