What is Fraud?

Fraud means to knowingly get benefits or payments that you are not entitled to receive. Please let us know if you are aware of someone who is committing fraud. This could be a provider or a member.

Some examples of healthcare fraud include but are not limited to:

  • Using someone else’s ID card
  • A provider (doctor) billing for services that were not done
