Types of Healthcare Fraud
Although beneficiaries are sometimes convicted of filing false information in order to try to reduce their healthcare costs, by far the majority of prosecutions deal with providers who file false information. There are many other actions that can result in charges of healthcare fraud, including:
- Performing unnecessary procedures to receive billing
- Billing for a more expensive procedure than what was actually performed
- Billing for procedures that never occurred
- A beneficiary filing for procedures that never occurred
- A beneficiary filing under someone else’s card or identity
Any other false information presented for the purpose of financial claim can be considered healthcare fraud.
