Fraud & Abuse |
What is fraud and abuse?Fraud is when a person does something on purpose so that the person gets something he or she shouldn't. If a person tries to get health care from a doctor by using another person's U of U Health Plans card, that is one type of fraud. Another type of fraud is if a doctor bills U of U Health Plans on purpose for a service that wasn't done. Abuse is when a person does something that costs U of U Health Plans extra money. If a U of U Health Plans member goes to the emergency room when it isn't really an emergency, that is one type of abuse. Another type of abuse is when a doctor does more services than the patient needs. What can I do to stop fraud and abuse?
