It can even raise the cost of getting health care services. This is why we need help from our members and providers to find Fraud, Waste, or Abuse and stop it as soon as possible.
How YOU can help prevent Fraud, Waste and Abuse

- A health care provider offers you cash or gifts to get free medical care
- A pharmacy bills you for drugs you did not get, or the pharmacy did not give you the right number of pills ordered by your doctor
- You find out someone else is using your health insurance card
- You are billed for health care services or items you did not get
