Medicare Advantage-Prescription Drug Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Training

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires all Medicare Advantage - Prescription Drug health plans to ensure that their participating providers complete Fraud, Waste, and Abuse training annually¹. In order to assist its member health plans in complying with this requirement, HealthCare Administrative Solutions (HCAS) has created this website, which includes an online training program to be completed by providers.
