Reporting Insurance Fraud

Every year, billions of dollars are spent for fraudulent claims throughout the insurance industry - translating into escalating costs and expenses. Who pays for this costly crime? We all do.

Health care fraud is defined as an intentional deception or misrepresentation by an individual, organization or some other party in order to receive an unauthorized benefit.

Common forms of insurance fraud include:

• Payments made for services not rendered
• Payments made for services previously covered by another insurance carrier
• Payments made to or for someone who was not an eligible subscriber or dependent
  

These are serious crimes - punishable by law.
