For this reason, Medicare fraud is severely and aggressively pursued by federal law enforcement.
Federal crimes like Medicare fraud come with harsh punishments. Under the federal sentencing guidelines, Medicare fraud can result in tens of thousands of dollars in fines and years in prison. In addition, the defendant may be forced to pay restitution for the original crimes and may be on probation for years after.
