Report Fraud 877Ͳ272Ͳ8720 When thieves steal from Medicare, there is less money for the health care you really need. You pay for things you might never get. You can get tests, medicine, or care you don’t really need. You can help protect Medicare for yourself, your family, and friends. What is Medicare fraud? Medicare fraud happens when someone intentionally bills Medicare for services or supplies that were never provided, weren’t medically necessary, or were misrepresented.
What are common examples of Medicare fraud? Some common schemes include: • Billing for services not provided • Upcoding (charging for more expensive services than provided) • Unnecessary tests or procedures How does Medicare fraud affect beneficiaries? • Increase healthcare costs • Lead to denied legitimate claims • Compromise patient medical records
Review Your Medicare Summary Notice—Protect YOUR Medicare This project in Mississippi is supported by the Administration for Community Living (ACL), US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $538,619.00 with 100% funding by ACL/HHS.
