Healthcare fraud can take many forms and can be perpetrated by practitioners and patients. Common forms of healthcare fraud include inflated billing to private insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid, for supplies or services which were unnecessary or never provided.
One can be charged for improperly distributing prescription drugs, and using another person’s insurance information. Performing unlicensed medical procedures or providing fraudulent health insurance plans may also constitute healthcare fraud.

Healthcare Fraud Crimes
Healthcare fraud is investigated by several government agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Federal Drug Administration.
Several federal healthcare statutes, including the Affordable Care Act, the False Claims Act, the Social Security Act, the Federal Healthcare Anti-Kickback Act, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, provide significant civil and criminal penalties for healthcare fraud.
The Affordable Care Act steeply increased the federal penalties for criminal healthcare fraud. Healthcare fraud may also be charged as a more general federal criminal offense, such as obstruction of a federal audit, mail fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy, and false statements.
