This three-day health conference hosted a panel discussion, where industry experts and professionals talked about scam offences in the healthcare sector.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Helping make healthcare accessible and affordable for their eligible demographic, Medicare schemes have a great dependency in today’s day and age for healthcare provision. However, scammers have wasted no time in seizing the opportunity to flood the market with Ponzi and fraudulent schemes surrounding Medicare, as discussed at the Health 2.0 Conference on December 19-21, 2022 at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, USA.

With how rapidly technology is being integrated into the healthcare sector, experts taking the stage at Health 2.0 Conference’s panel discussion collectively agreed upon the increased vulnerability of scammers exploiting patients and the need for preventative measures.

Patients are always encouraged to verify any phone calls or emails they may receive, offering unsolicited services or products. Misrepresentative scam tactics have been prevalent in the industry for a long time and continue to be one of the main reasons for patient exploitation. Scammers selling fraudulent schemes and services tend to pose as official healthcare providers, exploiting patients into purchasing their fraudulent schemes, leading to financial and mental distress. Being vigilant and educated about some of the common scam tactics such as misrepresentation is considered to be the first line of defense, according to one of the experts of the Health 2.0 Conference’s panel discussion.

Bringing it back to the point of increasing healthcare costs, fraudulent insurance schemes have been widely noticed as one of the most prevalent reports of Medicare scam offenses. Scammers exploit patients by offering next to nothing insurance rates, on services that are either non-existent or designed to fraud the healthcare provider they’re impersonating, reviews Health 2.0 Conference.

Verifying Medicare suppliers is top of the priority list when it comes to adapting preventative measures for patients. Conducting a background check on any provider collecting your personal and financial information is critical in early prevention. Being vigilant also includes thorough checking of Medicare statements to notice any unusual discrepancies such as unwarranted charges.

With complexities and obvious loopholes in the Medicare system, scammers are able to exploit the structure without much difficulty as it’s currently constructed. A unanimous agreement amongst the panelists on stage concluded the need for a much more solid structure when it comes to scam prevention in Medicare. Protecting the integrity and privacy of patients, including sensitive database breaches and financial losses incurred needs to be top of the list when it comes to development in the Medicare sector.
