A quick definition of health care fraud:

Health care fraud is when someone lies or cheats to get money from health insurance. This can happen when doctors or other health care workers charge for services they didn't really do, or when people pretend to be sick to get medicine they don't need. When health care fraud happens, it makes health care more expensive for everyone. The government has laws to try to stop health care fraud, and people who get caught can go to jail or have to pay a lot of money.

A more thorough explanation:

Health care fraud is a type of crime where people file dishonest health care claims to make money. There are many different ways that people commit health care fraud. Some examples include:

  • Doctors billing for care they never provided
  • Altering medical records to make it look like someone received more care than they actually did
  • Prescribing unnecessary treatments or drugs
  • Accepting kickbacks for referring patients to other providers

When someone commits health care fraud, it raises the cost of health care for everyone. In fact, about 10 cents of every dollar spent on health care goes toward paying for fraudulent claims.

There are laws in place to try to prevent health care fraud, and agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Postal Service investigate cases of fraud. If someone is caught committing health care fraud, they could face fines, jail time, and lose their license to practice medicine.

Examples of health care fraud include:

  • A doctor billing for a procedure they never performed
  • A patient lying about their income to qualify for free health care services
  • A pharmacist selling prescription drugs on the black market

These examples illustrate how people can commit health care fraud in different ways, whether it's by lying about their qualifications or selling drugs illegally. No matter how it's done, health care fraud is a serious crime that hurts everyone.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
