Fraud and Abuse

A pair of unethical and potentially illegal acts that can get a physician or other health care provider into trouble:
• Fraud—the deliberate billing for a service that was never given or for a service that has a higher reimbursement than the service produced
• Abuse—payment for items or services that are billed by mistake by providers, but should not be paid for by Medicare
