Medicare paid out thousands of dollars for a medical device on behalf of a Utahn that never ordered it, let alone received it. Turns out, she's caught up in a massive fraud scheme that could be costing taxpayers billions.
Gary Johnson discovered a discrepancy while examining his wife's Medicare statement.
"It was for some urinary catheters which my wife does not use, has never used," Johnson said. "A total of $15,500."
"Medicare fraud is a big thing," she said. "They're estimating about $60 billion worth of fraud every year through Medicare."
