Fraud and Abuse
United Concordia takes a strong stand against fraudulent and abusive practices. Fraud and abuse can take many forms, including:
- Submitting claims for services not rendered
- Submitting claims for non-covered services disguised as covered benefit services
- Identity thefts submitting claims for a non-eligible individual as a covered beneficiary
- Duplicate claim submissions
- Misrepresentation by the dentist of his or her credentials
- Concealment of information (by the dentist) regarding business practices which disqualify him or her as an authorized ADDP provider
- Improper billing practices, including submitting claims for unnecessary dental services
- Routine waiver of member cost-share
