Kickback Schemes<\/span><\/p>

This type of fraud is an arrangement between a healthcare professional or institution and a third-party entity. The person prescribing goods, medicines, and services gets a kickback from referrals and makes a profit. This may include something as innocuous as a doctor prescribing a pill that isn\u2019t the industry standard treatment and instead of prescribing something else that just happens to work, to put more money in their pockets. This law is taken seriously because doctors are supposed to treat the patient\u2019s illness without profit in mind.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Overbilling<\/span><\/p>

Doctors and institutions may find themselves in legal trouble for overbilling insurance companies. Doctors may request payment for services they didn\u2019t provide or services they provided that the patient didn\u2019t need to get a larger payout. Doctors may also alter documentation to get an uncovered treatment covered by the insurance company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Pill Mills<\/span><\/p>

A \u201cpill mill\u201d is a doctor, hospital, pharmacy, clinic, or any other medical institution that dispenses medications recklessly or inappropriately. These medical institutions might give patients opioids or narcotics in high amounts or for non-medical reasons. Physicians who prescribe highly addictive prescriptions like Morphine, Oxycodone, or Fentanyl frequently and in high amounts may garner the DEA\u2019s attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Prescription Fraud<\/span><\/p>

This happens when people get medications through unethical means like deception. They may get the prescription they want by forging a prescription or lying to their doctor. This fraud is costly to insurers, taxpayers, and hospitals. However, it\u2019s also detrimental to the addicted individuals that commit this kind of fraud. Many people get a legitimate prescription, but then become addicted and start to manipulate the system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
