Fraud, Waste, and Abuse

Our company is committed to preventing fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicare benefit programs and we're asking for your help. If you identify a potential case of fraud, please report it immediately.

• A health care provider - such as a physician, pharmacy, or medical device company - bills for  services you never got;
• A supplier bills for equipment different from what you got;
• Someone uses another person's Medicare card to get medical care, prescriptions, supplies or  equipment;
• Someone bills for home medical equipment after it has been returned;
• A company offers a Medicare drug or health plan that hasn't been approved by Medicare; or
• A company uses false information to mislead you into joining a Medicare drug or health plan.   

To protect yourself from fraud, thoroughly review your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) after you receive healthcare services. If you see something that doesn't look right, you should report the situation right away.
