Health care fraud

Health Care Fraud is when people lie or try to trick a doctor, hospital or other health care provider so that they can get money for something that they don't actually need (like getting a service or medicine that you don't need). For example, if someone went to the doctor and said they were sick when they weren't and asked for some medicine, that would be fraud. This can cost a lot of money and it's wrong, so it's against the law.
