Healthcare providers submitting claims for procedures or work not done is another type of Medicaid fraud. This is also practiced in the Medicare program and even private insurance. This type of scam may be hard to catch, specially if the patient is part of the scheme. To avoid being accused of this type of fraud, doctors should document any procedure done very carefully. Added protection would be to have a nurse, physician’s assistant, or another partner sign off on any work done.
