Fraud and Abuse

Help prevent fraud, waste and abuse

Members can help Gateway Health uncover provider fraud, waste, and abuse. You should keep track of the following things:

• Who provided your health care

• What services you received during the visit and any additional tests or visits the doctor ordered

• When you got a health care service

• Where the service took place

Call Gateway Health if you think the provider may have billed wrong or offered a service you didn’t think you needed. Please remember, DO NOT:

• Give your ID card or numbers to anyone other than your doctor, clinic, hospital or other health care provider

• Ask your doctor or any other health care provider for medical services or supplies that you don’t need

• Sign your name to a blank form

• Share your medical records with anyone other than your doctor, clinic, hospital or other health care professional

• Gateway has a team that works hard to identify and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. But we still need all providers and members to report possible fraud and abuse.
