Federal Authorities Place Cardiovascular Stress Testing Under the Microscope

Cardiovascular stress testing to diagnose patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and other related types of conditions can be a highly-effective tool in many cases. In fact, many cardiologists routinely recommend stress testing for patients who present with risk factors or who are showing possible symptoms of CAD, and stress testing can be a necessary supplement to electrocardiograph or radionuclide imaging in many instances.

However, cardiovascular stress testing has also proven to be a high-risk area for Medicare fraud. Due to the prevalence of heart disease and the nature of cardiovascular stress testing, this testing has proven extremely popular in recent years—so much so that it has caused federal authorities to sound the alarm. Cardiovascular stress testing fraud is now a top priority for federal authorities nationwide, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS OIG), and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) are all aggressively targeting providers suspected of fraudulently billing Medicare for these tests.
