Examples of fraudulent billing practices include:

• Billing for services or items that were never provided
• Billing separate claims for services that should be billed together as a single item
• Billing for services or equipment that are more expensive that what was supplied
• Continuing to bill for home medical equipment after it has been returned
• Scheduling unnecessary office visits or ordering unnecessary x-ray, laboratory or other services
• Taking payment from another provider in exchange for referring a patient
• Allowing an unlicensed person to perform treatment and billing as if a qualified individual had performed the service
