Health Care Fraud

Health care fraud refers to any dishonest act that aims to gain an undeserved benefit within the health care system. This can involve submitting false claims for payment, billing for services not provided, or exaggerating diagnoses to receive higher reimbursements. It can affect patients, healthcare providers, and insurance companies, leading to increased costs and compromised care. Combatting health care fraud is essential for maintaining the integrity of the healthcare system, ensuring that resources are used properly and that patients receive appropriate care without unnecessary financial burdens.
