Types of Healthcare Fraud Cases

Health care fraud cases in Florida are diverse and vary in complexity, targeting both public and private health insurance plans. They can be charged as state or federal crimes, although the major health care fraud prosecutions tend to occur in federal court.

Common Healthcare Fraud Schemes

  • Billing for services not rendered
  • Billing for services not medically necessary
  • Double billing for services provided
  • Upcoding (e.g., billing for a more highly reimbursed service or product than the one provided)
  • Unbundling (e.g., billing separately for groups of laboratory tests performed together in order to get a higher reimbursement)
  • Fraudulent cost reporting by institutional providers

Kickbacks

Other common schemes include kickbacks in return for referring patients or influencing the provision of health care. The anti-kickback statute prohibits the payment of kickbacks for the purpose of inducing the referral of services which are paid for by federal health care programs. Kickbacks corrupt the decision-making of medical providers, placing profit above patient welfare. They can lead to grossly inappropriate medical care, including unnecessary hospitalization, surgery, tests, and equipment.

Other Fraudulent Healthcare Schemes

Other schemes include providing services by untrained personnel, failing to supervise unlicensed personnel, distributing unapproved devices or drugs, and creating phony health insurance companies or employee benefits plans.
