Medicare will continue to suspend payments to Miami home healthcare agencies suspected of fraud, according to a November 24 Miami Herald article.

According to the article, Medicare estimates it spends $1.3 billion of its $16.5 billion national home healthcare budget on companies based in Miami-Dade County.
