Waste and Abuse in Behavioral Health
Sponsored by: Cotiviti
Staying informed on behavioral health fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) is critical for today’s health plans, especially as Medicaid programs face increasing scrutiny, evolving regulations, and more sophisticated schemes. As treatment models expand and coding and documentation requirements continue to change, bad actors are finding new ways to exploit behavioral health services. While Medicaid has been hit hardest, many of the same schemes pose growing risks across other lines of business.
Join Cotiviti’s behavioral health and FWA experts for a timely, practical discussion on how these trends are unfolding—and what health plans can do to stay ahead.
During this webinar, you’ll learn:
- The latest guidance designed to stop Medicaid fraud and abuse
- How emerging behavioral health trends are being exploited by bad actors
- Key takeaways from the recent federal release of behavioral health provider data
- Tools and approaches to identify and stop FWA without creating provider abrasion
This session will equip SIUs and payment integrity teams with real‑world insights, data trends, and practical strategies they can apply immediately.
