Health care fraud is considered abuse to the public treasury. “The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA) estimates that health care fraud accounts for at least three, but as much as ten percent of total health care expenditures”(Hubbell, 2006). “Because health care fraud costs taxpayers more than $13.3 billion a year, seven federal and state agencies have made health care fraud prosecution a primary focus” (Hubbell, 2006). “The federal government concentrates on detecting and prosecuting health care fraud in its health care insurance programs, Medicare and Medicaid” (Hubbell, 2006). Health care organizations that receive payment from the Social Security Act are more likely to become targets of health care fraud with Medicare and Medicaid. There are many organizations that have been accused of health care fraud with Medicare and/or Medicaid. Maxim Healthcare Services is one of the health care organizations that have been accused of health care fraud.
