Vance-Led Fraud Crackdown Reveals 7,100% Surge in Medicare Transplant Claims

A Trump-era anti-fraud task force reports a 7,100% rise in Medicare transplant claims from 2019 to 2025, with 96% denied since March. CMS flagged 4,200 suspicious allograft claims totaling $224 million through May, and actions against Durable Medical Equipment suppliers led to suspensions or revocations. DOJ enforcement actions have recovered billions, underscoring a broad, whole-of-government push against fraud, including Minnesota Medicaid cases and warnings to fraudsters from VP JD Vance and CMS head Mehmet Oz.
