The 1987 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) established the Medicaid and Medicare Anti-Fraud and Abuse Amendments (MAAC). This legislation was aimed at reducing fraud and abuse in Medicaid and Medicare programs. The MAAC created new penalties for fraudulent claims, increased the power of the government to investigate and prosecute health care fraud, and required health care providers to establish compliance programs to prevent fraud and abuse. It did not establish the DRG (Diagnosis-Related Group), CPT (Current Procedural Terminology), or RBRVS (Resource-Based Relative Value Scale) systems.
