Medicare fraud involves individuals and corporate entities who seek Medicare benefits or reimbursement through misrepresentation or false information submitted as Medicare claims to this federal program. Fraud committed against Medicare is investigated by the Office of Investigations for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in collaboration with the FBI. Over $100 million dollars was allocated by the federal government in 1997 to federal law enforcement to fight this type of fraud. The Medicare Fraud Strike Force was also created to investigate and prosecute those guilty of submitting false claims.

Medicare Fraud

Medicare fraud may be committed by a practitioner or by a patient. Practitioner fraud consists of fraudulently billing the Medicare program for such things as unnecessary medical treatments or procedures, for medical treatments that were never rendered, for medical tests that were never given, for unnecessary medical equipment or for new equipment that was previously used, and for using false billing codes which inflate the payment due for services. A patient who commits fraud may provide his or her Medicare identification number to a practitioner who uses it in false claims.
