Engaging with “bad actors” in medical billing can have serious consequences for both patients and healthcare providers. More and more providers are engaging without checking. Here’s what could happen. Terry discusses it all with examples.

• Legal repercussions: Providers can face hefty fines, civil or criminal charges, and even loss of their medical license for engaging in fraudulent billing.


• Financial impact: Audits, penalties, and required repayments can lead to significant financial losses for the provider’s practice.


• Reputational damage: Being associated with fraud can significantly damage a provider’s reputation, leading to decreased patient volume and referral issues.
