Reducing Fraud, Waste, and Abuse to Improve Healthcare Affordability

HLC convened senior leaders from across the healthcare sector to identify practical, cross-sector ways to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse, with the discussion centered principally on waste and administrative inefficiency. A clear message emerged: healthcare does not need another broad diagnosis of the problem. It needs a focused action agenda that prevents avoidable costs before they occur and directs more resources toward patient care, coverage, and innovation.
