Duplicate claim submissions occur when healthcare providers or facilities submit multiple claims for the same service or treatment. This fraudulent activity can take various forms, including submitting the same claim multiple times to different insurers or billing for services not provided. While some duplicate claims may result from simple clerical errors, repeated submissions or patterns of such claims can raise red flags and lead to allegations of fraud. The Baez Law Firm can help you assess the situation and respond appropriately to any charges for the best opportunity of a successful resolution.
