Fraud is a deliberate deception or misrepresentation that someone makes in order to receive benefits he or she does not deserve.
Most people are honest and hardworking. A few individuals try to game the system to receive money or benefits they don't deserve. They are making a mistake – it is a crime to commit insurance fraud, and people can lose their benefits for it, and be prosecuted.
Examples of fraudulent recipient activities include:
- Loaning a Medicaid Identification or other insurance card to another person
- Using someone else's Medicaid Identification or other insurance card
- Forging or altering a prescription
- Doctor shopping in order to obtain multiple prescriptions
- Using multiple Medicaid Identification cards
- Intentionally receiving unneeded services or supplies
- Accepting cash or other bribes for receiving services
- Re-selling items provided by the Medicaid program
- Deliberately giving incorrect information to receive benefits
