ABSTRACT
While investigating healthcare fraud (especially provider fraud and organized crime), keep in mind that each separate investigation may actually have more than one nancial victim because (in most cases) all patients are not insured by the same insurance companies or programs. Because most healthcare providers submit insurance claim forms to several different entities or programs for payment, be conscious of the fact that many different entities (and perhaps individuals) may have been victimized for the same violations that you are investigating.
