Defense Health Agency Controls Over High-Risk Pharmaceutical Payments DODIG-2018-033

We determined whether the Defense Health Agency (DHA) developed controls to identify health care pharmaceutical payments at high risk of fraud or abuse.

The DHA defines “abuse” as any practice that is inconsistent with accepted practice which results in a claim, unnecessary costs, or payment for services or supplies not medically necessary and appropriate, or that fail to meet professionally recognized standards for health care providers. “ Abuse” includes deception or misrepresentation by a provider in relation to a TRICARE claim.
