What Is Medicare And Medicaid Fraud?
Medical offices are often accused of this crime for billing Medicare or Medicaid for services that were not actually provided. Other examples include billing both Medicaid or Medicare and the patient’s private insurance company, scheduling unnecessary office visits or tests, or upcoding.
One of the most common reasons for recipients to be accused of this type of fraud is falsifying the application to receive Medicare or Medicaid when not actually eligible. Other examples include using more than one Medicare or Medicaid card or selling prescriptions or other items obtained through the program.
