Frequently Asked Questions

Healthcare fraud occurs when someone deliberately submits false or misleading information to obtain unauthorized benefits or payments from a healthcare program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. This can include activities like billing for services that were never provided, upcoding (billing for more expensive services than were actually performed), submitting duplicate claims, or receiving kickbacks for patient referrals. Both providers and patients can commit healthcare fraud, and the consequences can be severe, including fines, imprisonment, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs.
The penalties for healthcare fraud can be severe and may include significant fines, restitution to victims, and imprisonment. Depending on the severity of the offense and whether it’s prosecuted at the state or federal level, individuals convicted of healthcare fraud could face years in prison.
