Protect your patients and your practice.
Healthcare providers play a vital role in helping patients use their health and dental benefits to access critical healthcare services and supplies. Benefits fraud and abuse puts that access in jeopardy. Your patients could lose their benefits due to the financial burden on their employer (among other serious consequences). If you knowingly participate in fraudulent activities as a healthcare provider, you could lose your reputation, your income and your license.
You can help protect your patients and yourself from becoming involved in benefits fraud by being clear about the services and supplies you provide, providing accurate and complete invoices and receipts, following correct claim submission procedures, and directing patients to their employer or insurance carrier if they have questions about their coverage. When marketing your services, you can protect your patients and yourself from benefits abuse by eliminating any “use it or lose it” messaging.
