Avoiding Health Insurance Fraud
Some Tips to Avoid the Health Insurance Fraud:
-
Never sign blank insurance claim forms.
-
Never give blanket authorization to a medical provider to bill for services rendered.
-
Ask your medical providers what they will charge and what you will be expected to pay out-of-pocket.
-
Carefully review your insurer's explanation of the benefits statement. Call your insurer and provider if you have questions.
-
Do not do business with door-to-door or telephone salespeople who tell you that services of medical equipment are free.
-
Give your insurance/Medicare identification only to those who have provided you with medical services.
-
Keep accurate records of all health care appointments.
-
Know if your physician ordered equipment for you.
If you have an older parent or relative, please review the safety tips with them, especially if they have recently been widowed. People who are by themselves will often agree or sign something, just because they fall pray to someone's false kindness.
