(Health care fraud is a type of fraud involving the use of the health care system by an individual, medical provider, or insurance company in a deceitful manner in order to profit from it. While health care fraud many not seem like a crime that can hurt others, it does have a negative impact. Health care fraud influences insurance rates every day, causing premiums individuals pay to rise to cover the insurance companies’ losses. Such fraud committed by a healthcare provider can cause the loss of professional license, and may affect the healthcare of their patients.)
