What is Medicaid Fraud?

Before we dive into the legal intricacies, let’s define what Medicaid fraud actually is. Medicaid is a federal and state-funded healthcare program designed to provide medical assistance to low-income individuals, families, and those with disabilities. It’s a vital resource that helps millions of Americans access the care they need.However, Medicaid fraud occurs when someone intentionally submits false or fraudulent claims to the program for payment. This can take many forms, such as billing for services that were never provided, providing unnecessary or inferior services, or misrepresenting a patient’s diagnosis to receive higher reimbursement.Both individuals and organizations, including healthcare providers, hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, can commit Medicaid fraud. And the consequences can be severe, ranging from hefty fines and loss of licensure to criminal prosecution and even imprisonment.

Common Types of Medicaid Fraud

Medicaid fraud can manifest in various ways, and it’s crucial to understand the different types to better protect yourself. Here are some common examples:

Billing for Services Not Rendered

This is perhaps the most straightforward form of Medicaid fraud, where a healthcare provider bills the program for services or treatments that were never actually provided to the patient.

Upcoding or Unbundling

Upcoding involves billing for a more expensive service than the one actually provided, while unbundling refers to billing for individual components of a service instead of the bundled rate, resulting in higher reimbursement.

Kickbacks and Referral Schemes

Offering or receiving kickbacks or bribes in exchange for patient referrals is a form of Medicaid fraud. These schemes often involve unnecessary or excessive services to justify the kickbacks.

Identity Theft and Falsifying Records

Using someone else’s identity or falsifying medical records to obtain Medicaid benefits or reimbursement is considered fraud.

Prescription Drug Fraud

This can involve activities such as writing prescriptions for unnecessary or excessive medications, or selling prescription drugs on the black market.These are just a few examples, and the complexities of Medicaid fraud can be daunting. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced NYC Medicaid fraud lawyer by your side.
