Medicaid fraud has a lot of victims. But these are not the recipients of the program, but taxpayers from whom general funding for Medicaid is sourced from. Avoiding Medicaid fraud is not a question of preventing a person from being a victim due to the very nature of the program, but rather stopping them from being a perpetrator.

The Medicaid program is controlled in the United States under Title 19 of the US Code. In some cases it is actually called Title 19 instead of Medicaid and the terminologies are interchangeable. Even though it may be possible to steal someone’s identity in order to get Medicaid benefits, this is very rare and can be prevented by following tips and advice to avoid being victims of identity theft.
