Fraud, Waste, and Abuse: The 2025 Triple Crown

Call it a trifecta, triumvirate, or the Triple Crown of 2025.

“Fraud, waste, and abuse” is the current triple-negative buzzword in America’s lexicon. And it’s being used to describe lots of things. But when that phrase is used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG), what does it actually mean?

You’ll learn during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays.

That’s when senior healthcare consultant Dr. Drew Updike – the broadcast’s special guest – will report on how the Acting HHS Inspector General (IG) Juliet Hodgkins used that phrase when she recently posted an online promotion in support of the OIG Spring Semiannual report to Congress.

The venerable broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:

• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.

• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.

• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

• Legislative Update: Matthew Albright, chief legislative government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.
