美國政府正在轉型其打擊醫療健保詐欺的方式，從傳統的「付款後追討」模式，轉向更為主動且以數據為導向的策略。
The U.S. government is transforming how it combats healthcare fraud, moving away from the traditional "pay and chase" model toward a more proactive, data-driven approach.
過去，政府側重於在不當付款發生後回收資金。
Historically, the government focused on recovering funds after improper payments were made.
如今，策略已轉變為利用先進的人工智慧與數據分析來即時辨識可疑的計費模式，以達「偵測並預防」之效。
Today, the strategy has shifted to "detect and prevent" using advanced artificial intelligence and data analytics to identify suspicious billing patterns in real-time.
透過促進司法部與聯邦醫療保險和補助服務中心等機構間的合作，政府現在能在詐欺性服務提供者完全請款前，將其停權並凍結可疑款項。
By fostering collaboration between agencies like the Department of Justice and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the government can now suspend fraudulent providers and freeze suspicious payments before they are fully processed.
這項工作的規模在2026年全國醫療健保詐欺大掃蕩行動中展露無遺，該行動對455名與65億美元虛假索賠有關的被告提起了訴訟。
The scale of this effort was highlighted in the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which involved charges against 455 defendants linked to $6.5 billion in false claims.
這項倡議至關重要，因為醫療健保詐欺每年讓美國蒙受約1000億美元的損失，不僅耗盡資源，還推高了保險費。
This initiative is critical, as healthcare fraud costs the U.S. an estimated $100 billion annually, draining resources and inflating premiums.
政府鼓勵公民保持警惕，並提供如詐欺舉報熱線 (FraudNet Hotline) 等資源，供民眾舉報可疑的不法行為。
Citizens are encouraged to remain vigilant, with resources like the FraudNet Hotline available to report suspected wrongdoing.
