Health care fraud penalties would get much tougher under this bill.
This bill would make health care fraud penalties tougher. People convicted would face longer prison sentences and higher fines. It also asks the Sentencing Commission to update its rules for these crimes.
Today, people convicted of health care fraud face maximum prison sentences of 10 or 20 years, and fines for federal program fraud range from $4,000 to $100,000. If this bill becomes law, maximum prison sentences would increase to 25 or 30 years, and maximum fines for federal program fraud would rise to $100,000 or $250,000.
