Healthcare Provider Fraud

25 April 2014, michigan, United States

Introduction

Physicians are placed in a position of trust, couple that with complicated lingo and a lack of understanding of medical practices, and fraud will be endemic. Often times the actions of the physicians are not questioned, as long as patient continues to improve. Healthcare fraud can be concealed in plain sight and innocent consumers – despite their diligence – may not see it. So who is responsible for finding it, reporting it, prosecuting it and invariably stopping it? If not stopped it will continue to increase.
