Defining Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
Fraud: Any act that constitutes fraud under applicable federal or state law, including any intentional deception or misrepresentation made by a person with the knowledge that the deception could result in some unauthorized benefit to that person or another person.
Waste: Practices that a reasonably prudent person would deem careless or that would allow inefficient use of resources, items, or services.
Abuse: Practices that are inconsistent with sound fiscal, business, or medical practices and that result in unnecessary program cost.
