"Medicaid fraud can be committed in one of three ways:

 

1. When a person knowingly makes or causes to be made, a false or misleading statement or representation to obtain reimbursement from the Medicaid program

2. When a person solicits or accepts payment in exchange for services covered under the Medicaid program with the purpose of facilitating or committing a fraud;

3. When a person falsifies, alters, or destroys documents necessary for reimbursement from the Medicaid program after submitting billings to Medicaid".
