Preventing Healthcare Fraud 

How You Can Avoid, Identify, and Prevent Healthcare Fraud

  • Ask questions about the services you receive.
     
  • Fill out, sign, and date one claim form at a time; never sign a blank form.
     
  • Question advertisements or promotions by providers that offer free tests, treatment or services, especially if you are required to provide insurance information.
     
  • In general, be careful about disclosing your insurance information. Protect your identification card. It represents your benefits.
     
  • Examine your medical bills and compare your bills to your records and your PHPNI Explanation of Benefits (EOB).
     
  • Report suspected fraud to a PHPNI representative. Contact options are provided here.
