Report Description
We alerted CMS to the preliminary results of our ongoing review of the costs Medicare incurred because of recalled or defective medical devices. Our ongoing review shows that the lack of medical device-specific information in the claims data impedes the ability of CMS to readily identify and effectively track Medicare's total costs related to the replacement of recalled or defective devices.
