Benefits Fraud: What is it & how can you prevent it?
Benefits fraud occurs when providers, facilities, clinics, or individuals intentionally submit claims with inaccurate or misleading information about the services or treatments provided. The most common types of benefits fraud include:
- Billing for services not rendered
- Up-coding of goods or services
- Submitting false claims
- Unbundling
- Excessive or unnecessary services
- Kickbacks
- Falsifying patient records
- Co-pay activities
