Fraud and abuse are the number one threats to our healthcare system, costing Americans billions of dollars each year. Healthcare fraud is the intent to deceive a company into paying for services that either were not or should not have been provided. Those breaking the law could be physicians, patients, laboratories, hospitals, employees, vendors, or a billing service used by a provider.
