Why might repeatedly forgiving copayments constitute fraud on the insurance company?
I had to answer this too and it was difficult. I believe the answer is:
Because the doctor is in effect misstating the true fee, resulting in overpayment
(if a bill is $100 and the copayment is $20, then the insurance company will pay $80. BUT if they excuse your copayment which you are SUPPOSED to pay, they then bill the insurance company $100 instead of only $80. that means they are misstating the true amount that is due and the insurance company is overpaying)
i hope that helps!!
