CEO of Open the Books Adam Andrezejewski joined The National Deskโ€™s Jan Jeffcoat to discuss the issue.

โ€œItโ€™s been four years since the pandemic started and still the federal government hasn't given us a top-line estimate. Their estimate of the total fraud,โ€ he said. So that's left it to third-party organizations like LexisNexis to come up with an estimate.โ€
