Healthcare Fraud Whistleblower Lawyer Portland, OR
The potential for healthcare fraud is immense, and fraudulent tactics cover a wide range of activities. You may notice that insurance companies or Medicaid are being billed for procedures that they never received in your office, or that certain procedures are miscoded, and reimbursement submissions are for higher-cost procedures than those the patient actually received.
Kickbacks are another common form of fraud. Is your practice prescribing certain medications for every patient, regardless of whether it’s the best choice for them? There could be an incentive from the pharmaceutical company. Or, maybe patients are recommended certain pieces of durable medical equipment when they don’t need them. This is another all-too-common form of fraud.
