Do you believe you’ve witnessed fraud in managed care? Managed care insurance fraud is an unfortunate reality, contributing to rising healthcare costs, and higher taxes with a staggering chain of impact. The best way to fight fraud is to blow the whistle, report managed care fraud, and expose the organizations and individuals committing these crimes. Examples of fraudulent schemes include:
Enrollment Fraud is when an Insurance company enrolls a beneficiary into their Managed Care Plan outside of approved enrollment periods using erroneous or deceptive information to qualify a beneficiary under the term Special Enrollment Period.
Dis-Enrollment Fraud is when a third party (Nursing Home, Assisted Living, Home Healthcare, etc.) switches a patient from a Managed Care Plan back to “Traditional Medicare” without consent solely for higher reimbursement purposes.

Financial losses aren’t the only consequence as a result of managed care fraud. There’s also a human side to fraud in managed care. Innocent people become victims when dishonest Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) and middleman coding companies compromise an individual’s medical records by submitting falsified claims and miscoding patient diagnoses in order to line their pockets with additional funds.
When these organizations and their employees upcode medical bills for Medicare and Medicaid patients, they cheat those healthcare programs of needed funds. Additional victims of managed care fraud are the employees and physicians who are forced or manipulated into participating in the company’s criminal activities.
Fraud in managed care is a crime against the community, families, the government, and all the honest doctors across the medical field. It has a massive chain of impact that leads to rising healthcare costs, higher taxes, and reduced care.
