The issue of fraud in health care has become a serious problem that every participant in the health delivery system must remain aware of in terms of potential and consequences. Managers in the health care system are tasked with ensuring that their staff members know the various fraud schemes as well as making sure that providers are not committing fraud themselves. A key way to accomplish this task is through education and training for fraud detection and prevention by and of health care stakeholders. The stakeholders in health care include providers, patients, organizations and institutions, the government, and the public. Also included are non-health care entities that may steal patient data for fraudulent claims and billing. Managers, therefore, are strongly advised to seek the services of health care compliance agencies to train staff, including doctors and nurses, on how to detect fraud and prevent fraud themselves. These agencies are also adept at helping to improve billing and payment functions to mitigate the risk of lost revenue through fraud and avoidance of criminal liability for the actions of providers and patients. The well-coordinated efforts of all stakeholders of health care assist in preserving the integrity of the system and make available quality services at reasonable prices for all.

8 Common Claim Denials By Your Medical Insurance Provider and How to Fight ThemPreston Chase Zeller
When your health insurance claims are denied, it is well worth your while to contest your insurer. According to the Department of Labor, one claim in seven made under employer health plans is denied.
However, if you appeal your insurer’s denials, you have about a 50/50 chance of winning. Sometimes, the denial stems simply from the fact that the claim had some kind of error; in 2012, the American Medical Association reported that an average of 9.5% of health claims processed by private health insurers contained errors.
You have the right to challenge any medical billing claim that has been made, as well as explore whether or not the insurance company should be paying more.

An individual subscriber can commit health insurance fraud
by:
• Allowing someone else to use his or her identity and insurance
information to obtain health care services
• Using benefits to pay for prescriptions that were not prescribed by his
or
her doctor
6. Health care providers can commit fraudulent acts by:
• billing for services‚ procedures and/or supplies that were never
rendered
• charging for more expensive services than those actually provided
• performing unnecessary services for the purpose of financial gain
7. Preventive measures for employers to instruct employees on
how to recognize fraud by medical providers:
• Always keep your health insurance card on you. Immediately report
lost or stolen cards.
• Never sign empty or incomplete claim forms.
• Never sign more than one claim form per doctor per visit.
• Inform your insurer if you do not complete or take any medical
services after pre-authorization.

payment or deductible.

tests you should undergo in certain conditions but healthcare is very
broad.

and investigate each claim.
• In 2012, Daman had just 25 employees in its fraud investigation
department and 1,401 medical providers in its health insurance
network in the UAE, resulting in 1.53 million claims processed every
month!
9. Fraudulent claims by employees
More than one laborer who may not have cover, use the same health
insurance card. This is often the case because sometimes no photos are
placed on ID cards, leaving them open to misuse.
10. As the healthcare industry grows in the UAE, the incidence of medical
insurance fraud will also increase.
There has to be firm and intensive efforts by the industry and
regulators to make sure that fraud is eliminated or reduced effectively.
