Medicare and Medicaid Fraud can rear its ugly head in many different ways. Unfortunately, when moneys at stake, greed conquers care and medical providers sometimes place their economic interests ahead of the patients.
Common Fraud Scenarios
Businesses and individuals defraud state and federal government healthcare programs in many different ways. Common examples of fraudulent conduct include:

Submitting a claim for a health care service, treatment, medical device, diagnostic test, or medication that was never rendered.

Overbilling
Billing for services or equipment that are not medically necessary.

Ghost Billing
Submitting claims for services rendered to patients who are no longer with the practice, or have even passed away.

Falsifying Who Is Providing Services
Billing for services at physician rates when they were actually provided by nurses or physician assistants.

Kickbacks
Improperly paying or soliciting money to induce referring patients or healthcare services payable by a government-funded healthcare program.

Upcoding Services
Submitting a claim for a treatment, diagnostic test, or healthcare service representing a more serious and expensive procedure than was actually performed.

Falsifying Information Regarding Clinic/ Provider Accreditation
Submitting false information to become an eligible provider for government insurance programs.

Self-Dealing
Referring government business to another business owned by the same person, or by their friends or family.

Pharmaceutical Fraud
Promoting off-label use of products, falsifying documentation to the FDA, or deviating from approved manufacturing and testing processes.
There are hundreds of other schemes that hurt patients and line medical provider’s pockets. If you’re not part of the solution, the government may consider you part of the problem.
