Most Common Healthcare Schemes
- Kickbacks
- Billing for unnecessary services
- Billing for services that aren’t provided
- Up Coding
- Double Billing
- Unbundling
- Phantom Billing
A kickback is when a provider unlawfully refers a patient to a service and then the provider receives an incentive. Upcoding is when a provider performs a medical service or test but bills the insurance provider for a more expensive service. Unbundling is when a provider bills an insurance provider for two separate services that were conducted together. Phantom Billing, as the name implies, is when an insurance provider is billed for a service that was not administered. For a full list of possible fraud schemes click here.
Possible Consequences
Prison and fines are not the only consequences that a healthcare professional could be subject to if they’re involved in some sort of white-collar fraud. A loss of their medical license, ability to work in the medical field and civil lawsuits are all on the table. On top of that, convictions would result in a felony criminal record which brings other consequences.
Even if you do not hold a medical license, your career could be at stake. An accusation, charge, or conviction could lead to many unforeseen consequences to your future and your livelihood.
