THIRD you have a duty to follow your organization’s Code ofConduct that articulates your and your organization’s commitment tostandards of conduct and ethical rules of behavior.

9/16/2015What is Fraud, Waste, andAbuse?DetectionCriminal FRAUDKnowingly and willfully executing, or attempting toexecute, a scheme or artifice to defraud any healthcare benefit program; or to obtain, by means of falseor fraudulent pretenses, representations, orpromises, any of the money or property owned by,or under the custody or control of, any health carebenefit program.In order to detect fraud, waste, and abuseyou need to know the LawWhat Does That Mean?Intentionally submitting false information tothe government or a government contractorin order to get money or a benefit.18 United States Code §13474

9/16/2015Waste and AbuseWaste: overutilization of services or other practicesthat result in unnecessary costs to the MedicareProgram. Waste is not cause by criminally negligentactions but by the misuse of resources.Abuse: includes actions that result in unnecessary coststo the Medicare Program. Abuse involves paymentfor items or services when there is not legalentitlement and the provider has not knowingly andor/intentionally misrepresented facts to obtainpayment.Report Fraud, Waste,and AbuseDo not be concerned about whether it is fraud,waste, or abuse. Just report any concerns to yourcompliance department or your sponsor’scompliance department . Your sponsor’scompliance department area will investigate andmake the proper determination.Differences between Fraud,Waste, and AbuseThere are differences between fraud, waste, andabuse. One of the primary differences is intent andknowledge.Fraud requires the person to have an intent to obtainpayment and the knowledge that their actions arewrong. Waste and abuse may involve obtaining animproper payment, but does not require the sameintent and knowledge.Indicators of Potential Fraud,Waste, and AbuseNow that you know what fraud, waste, andabuse are, you need to be able to recognizethe signs of someone committing fraud,waste, or abuse.5
