If you're a healthcare practitioner, your medical license is nearly as critical to your day-to-day as your driver's license. It's the way you practice your career (and the way you pay your bills!).

This makes serious allegations, such as insurance fraud accusations, a very big deal. It's natural to worry — or even to be scared. You can't lose your license. That would affect your entire future!

At the Lento Law Firm, we agree. Here, we'll provide some practical insights into insurance fraud allegations, their impact on your ability to practice medicine, and the steps you can take as a healthcare provider to protect your license, reputation, and career.

How Serious Are Insurance Fraud Accusations?

Insurance fraud within the healthcare system refers to the intentional misrepresentation of patient information to insurance companies. The goal of insurance fraud is often to obtain unauthorized benefits or larger payments for medical services.

Insurance companies do not take kindly to this kind of deception.

Neither does the medical field at large.

If you are facing these accusations, that's calling into question your integrity as a professional and your ability to provide helpful, non-biased care to your patients.

The specific consequences you may face will vary, but your state's licensing board could initiate disciplinary actions against your license. These actions may include fines, an interim suspension, or even a license revocation.
