A “fake care dealer invoice” is an invoice submitted by a fraudulent healthcare provider for services never rendered. For instance, a doctor could bill for a medical procedure that was never performed.

They divert money away from legitimate healthcare providers and can lead to higher costs for patients. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on combating fake care dealer invoices, and several key developments have been made in this area.
