Medical insurance fraud is making a false statement or claim to a health insurance company. Frequently, this means billing for services not rendered, billing for services not necessary or multiple billings for the same procedure. It generally requires at least two participants; a medical professional and a patient willing to sign his or her name to a false statement.
Many people don't realize that by knowingly lending their names to this scheme to defraud, they can be charged as a principal and face the same penalties as the main conspirators for Florida health care insurance fraud. Insurers who intentionally adjust physicians' reports to increase their profits may also be charged with making
false and fraudulent insurance claims. If you are facing these charges, you need help from an experienced
Miami criminal attorney.
