How to Report Medicare Fraud

Medicare fraud is a serious situation; however there are numerous steps you can take to help prevent it from occurring or reoccurring. The first steps you should take are always reviewing your Medicare Summary Notice for errors and reporting anything you feel may be wrong or suspicious. You should also be cautious if you are ever offered free testing or services in exchange for your Medicare number or if you have a provider who states they are endorsed by Medicare or the Federal government. Never give out your Medicare Health Insurance Claim Number that is listed on your Medicare except to your provider when absolutely necessary. Do not allow anyone, except for authorized medical professionals review your medical or billing records or recommend services to you. Do not accept free services and do not ask your provider for services that you truly do not need. Also, as mentioned above, try to avoid any physicians who state they know how to get Medicare to cover a service or procedure that isn’t usually covered.http://www.medicare.gov/FraudAbuse/Tips.asp

Taking these preventative measures will help cut back on any fraudulent Medicare activity that is done by providers. By helping to stop any fraud, you will also be preventing future increases in healthcare costs due to the abuse of the Medicare system.

Deepak Chopra

Deepak Chopra is an Indian-born doctor, author, philosopher and lecturer. As a medical doctor, Chopra worked at several major hospitals in the United States, and managed a private practice, until he developed an interest in Transcendental Meditation in 1981. He became a leader in the mind-body medicine movement and eventually founded the Chopra Center in 1996. Though primarily known for his contributions to the theory of mind-body medicine, particularly the idea that consciousness, meditation and self-awareness are keys to both healing and illness, he has also written extensively about religion and spirituality. In 2005 he offered his controversial solution to the debate between Evolution and Creationism, arguing for an understanding of Intelligent Design without a dependence on The Bible. Chopra has drawn extensive criticism for his references to the relationship between Quantum Mechanics and healing, a connection that is disputed by most physicists.
