Health insurance fraud can be committed by both a provider and a member. The most common forms of fraud are false claim filing, false personal injury claims, and excessive treatments. Through the HIPAA act of 1996, health care fraud was established as a federal criminal offense with punishments of up to 10 years in prison and substantial fines.
