Health Care Fraud Law

Health care fraud law refers to legal measures aimed at preventing and penalizing dishonest practices in the health care system, particularly related to health insurance. This includes activities like billing for services not provided, falsifying patient records, or providing unnecessary treatments to generate more revenue. Such actions not only harm insurers financially but also compromise patient care and increase costs for everyone. Laws exist to investigate, prosecute, and impose penalties on individuals or entities found guilty of health care fraud, promoting fairness and integrity in health services.
