Fraud in the Healthcare Industry

Industry Risks, Trends & Common Schemes

Healthcare organizations manage large volumes of patient billing, insurance reimbursements, vendor payments, payroll activity, medical procurement, and regulatory reporting.

According to the ACFE 2024 Report to the Nations, healthcare organizations reported a median fraud loss of $100,000 per case. While losses vary significantly by scheme, healthcare providers, medical groups, hospitals, clinics, and healthcare networks remain vulnerable to fraud involving billing, procurement, payroll, corruption, and misuse of organizational assets.
