21 Health Care Fraud & Abuse Health Care Fraud and Abuse Effects Everyone The majority of health care fraud is committed by a very small minority of dishonest health care providers

22 Health Care Fraud & Abuse Fraud: An intentional deception or misrepresentation of fact that can result in unauthorized benefit or payment. Abuse: Actions that are improper, inappropriate, outside acceptable standards of professional conduct or medically unnecessary.

23 Health Care Fraud Submitting claims for services not provided or used Misrepresenting dates, frequency, duration or description of services rendered Falsifying claims or medical records Falsifying eligibility Billing for services at a higher level than provided or necessary Failing to disclose coverage under other health insurance

24 Health Care Abuse A pattern of waiving cost-shares or deductibles Failure to maintain adequate medical or financial records Improper billing practices A pattern of claims for services not medically necessary Refusal to furnish or allow access to medical records

25 Health Care Fraud & Abuse Do protect your Medicare number and your Social Security Number. Do remember that nothing is ever "free." Don't accept offers of money or gifts for free medical care. Do ask questions. You have a right to know everything about your medical care including the costs billed to Medicare. Prevention Do use a calendar to record all of your doctor's appointments and what tests or X-rays you get. Then check your Medicare statements carefully to make sure you got each service listed and that all the details are correct. If you spend time in a hospital, make sure the admission date, discharge date, and diagnosis on your bill are correct. Do educate yourself about Medicare. Know your rights and know what a provider can and can't bill to Medicare.

26 Health Care Fraud & Abuse Do be wary of providers who tell you that the item or service isn't usually covered, but they "know how to bill Medicare" so Medicare will pay. Do make sure you understand how a plan works before you join. Prevention Do always check your pills before you leave the pharmacy to be sure you got the correct medication, including whether it's a brand or generic and the full amount. If you don t get your full prescription, report the problem to the pharmacist. Do report suspected instances of fraud.

27 Health Care Fraud & Abuse Don't allow anyone, except your doctor or other Medicare providers, to review your medical records or recommend services. Prevention Don't contact your doctor to request a service that you don't need. Don't be influenced by certain media advertising about your health.

28 Health Care Fraud & Abuse Prevention Don t let anyone persuade you to see a Doctor for care or services you don t need. Don't accept medical supplies from a door-to-door salesman. If someone comes to your door claiming to be from Medicare or Medicaid, remember that Medicare and Medicaid don't send representatives to your home to sell products or services. Don't give your Medicare card, Medicare number, Social Security card, or Social Security Number to anyone except your doctor or other authorized Medicare provider.

29 Health Care Fraud & Abuse Contact your insurance Reporting Contact the State Insurance Fraud Bureau File a complaint with the State Medical Boards Report it to the Office of Inspector General Contact CA-Senior Medicare Patrol:

Review your medical records and report any errors to your health care provider. Write to your health care provider to report mistakes in your medical records. Include a copy of the medical record showing the mistake. Explain why this is a mistake and how to correct it. Include a copy of your police report or Identity Theft Report. Send the letter by certified mail and ask for a return receipt.
