Essay / Research Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. Statutes are created as a means by which to better govern certain areas of social policy that lack specification (Hyman, 2002); while those statutes that are "enacted to deal with fraud in these specific programs have become necessities" (Schreiber et al, 2002, p. 707), there are also times when they become excessively burdensome to the overall objective because they unnecessarily duplicate existing statutes. Not only does this increase the amount of official procedure required to draw up and enact the particular statute, but it also has the potential to cause a great deal of otherwise avoidable confusion where application is concerned. Examples of this redundancy can be found with such statutes as false claims and fraud statutes within the health care industry. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

of otherwise avoidable confusion where application is concerned. Examples of this redundancy can be found with such statutes as false claims and fraud statutes within the health care industry.
The student will want to discuss how all the following statutes share a common denominator of fraud, concealment and/or false claims; that they also play a unified role in determining
and punishing willful actions speaks to the end result of similar punishments. In the Criminal False Claims Act, anyone found knowingly giving false claim to the federal government -
which "concentrates on detecting and prosecuting health care fraud in its health care insurance programs" (Nann et al, 2005, p. 573) - will receive up to five years in prison
and an undetermined fine. Secondarily to this statute is the attempt - by conspiracy or agreement - to defraud the government, punishable by ten years in prison and an
undetermined fine. One of the most obvious differences between this statute and the others is that it is not recognized as being part of HIPPA statutes. Similarities are
reflected in prison time, but even then the penalties are often much more lenient or excessive than the others. All the remaining HIPPA statutes share a basis of intent to
willfully participate in a fraudulent act. Reflecting the variances of these statutes are penalties and definitions, which differ mainly where specific verbiage is concerned. For example, the Health
