The new technology will exceed standards recently set forth in Medicaid legislation regarding paper-based anti-copy/anti-scan security features required in Medicaid papers starting in October 2007.
Document Security Systems (DSS) will work to provide anti-counterfeiting technology enhancements to its current security paper product, which is sold through Boise Cascade under the brand name, Boise Beware.
Geo Plumberg, product manager of converting papers at Boise Cascade, said: Healthcare document fraud is a growing problem, with government agencies prosecuting more than $20 billion in Medicare and Medicaid fraud in 2004. As a leader in specialty papers, we have ensured that Boise Beware meets current standards for Federal compliance.
