- Submitting false information about a patient’s diagnosis
- Falsifying information regarding a procedure
- Billing individual aspects of a single procedure (“un-bundling”)
- Charging patients for more than the co-pay amount
- Waiving a patient’s co-pay/deductible for the purpose of over-billing their healthcare provider
- Using another person’s healthcare coverage
