HSM 420 Fraud and Abuse Discussions 1 Week 6
Discuss fraud and abuse in healthcare. Provide at least three specific examples of fraudulent practices that have taken place in U.S. healthcare, and describe ways to prevent these in our modern healthcare environment….
Imagine how many other deceased patients there are that have been billed for services that they did not receive.  Many families will just ignore the bill and the provider will receive payment.  Monitoring fraud and abuse needs to be a priority.  Decreasing such acts will save the country millions.  What are some of the consequences that are given to providers who abuse the system or commit fraud?  What are Medicaid and Medicare agencies doing to prevent this type of fraud?
