The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Provider Relief Fund (PRF) offers assistance to qualified suppliers of health care, services, and support for healthcare-related expenses or lost revenue due to COVID-19, but government payments related to the pandemic are a popular target for fraudsters. Criminals continue to defraud the U.S. government and vulnerable citizens throughout the health care industry, focusing on health care benefit programs, health insurance and COVID-19 health care relief funds paid to health care workers.
Verafin’s Health Care Benefits Fraud agent helps fraud investigators identify customers who receive health care payments and detects potentially fraudulent activity to prevent loss.
