Agencies claiming compliance on insurance scheme (8)
I believe the answer is:
medicare
'insurance scheme' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'agencies claiming compliance on' is the wordplay.
'agencies' becomes 'media' (I've seen this before).
'claiming' is an insertion indicator.
'compliance' becomes 'c' (physics abbreviation).
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'media' placed around 'c' is 'medica'.
'medica'+'re'='MEDICARE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for medicare that I've seen before include "US health scheme" , "US health insurance programme" .)
