Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–June 8, 2010. Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Kathleen Sebelius today sent a letter to state attorneys general urging them to work with HHS and federal, state and local law enforcement officials to mount a substantial outreach campaign , beginning this summer, to educate seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries about how to prevent scams and fraud. The outreach campaign is another step in the ongoing work of the Health Care Fraud Prevention Enforcement Action Team (HEAT), a cabinet-level initiative launch by the Justice Department and HHS in May 2009.
