Fraudulent providers to Medicare and Medicaid make up only a small percentage of all providers. But they account for an outsized percentage of misspent dollars.

Seto Bagdoyan, director of forensic audits and investigative services at the Government Accountability Office, joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin with more on the latest look at this problem.
