Health Care Fraud Prevention and Reporting

Fraud may cost the health care industry (both public and private payers) more than $200 billion each year* and can lead to your employees experiencing physical and mental harm as a result of schemes in which a provider performs unnecessary or dangerous procedures.

Reducing health care fraud is a collaborative effort between Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, our employer groups, producers, providers and members.

Report Any Suspected Incidence of Fraud

Our Special Investigations Department (SID) is one of the most effective in the industry. The staff includes individuals with medical, insurance and law enforcement backgrounds, as well as data analysts experienced in detecting fraudulent billing schemes. The SID aggressively investigates reports of fraud and refers cases for criminal prosecution.
