Praise for the previous edition of Healthcare Fraud Auditing and Detection Guide

"Rebecca Busch has taken the cumbersome and complex subject of healthcare fraud and dissected it into well-defined parts. Her thoughtful discussion of how and where these parts provide opportunities for fraud—and how to detect and prevent it—is the essence of this work. This book is a must-read for anyone involved in the prevention, detection, and investigation of healthcare fraud."
—Robert M. Bryant President and Chief Executive Officer, National Insurance Crime Bureau

"Fraud continues to be a major subject area for internal auditors. Recent studies by the IIA show that healthcare audits are in the top ten subject areas audited. This book speaks to the necessary background that internal auditors should have when auditing healthcare activities so that they can have the necessary skills to look for and deal with potential fraudulent situations. I recommend this book be part of every internal audit department's library."

"The cost of healthcare fraud continues to escalate each year. It is a terrible burden on our already fragile healthcare system. This book will provide anti-fraud professionals with a valuable resource to help combat this critical problem."

"Rebecca Busch's Healthcare Fraud: Auditing and Detection Guide fills a critical gap in anti-fraud literature. Written professionally and precisely, yet eminently readable, this book will be the 'go to' source for managers, academics, attorneys, auditors, and fraud examiners involved in healthcare. Healthcare Fraud: Auditing and Detection Guide demonstrates Ms. Busch's expertise and depth of knowledge in the area of healthcare fraud, and is testimony as to why she is such a sought-after speaker and educator."
