Similar to the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA),
which established health care fraud as a federal criminal offense with punishment of up
to 10 years of prison in addition to significant financial penalties, there is a need to
introduce similar sort of act for the Indian market. All these efforts towards fraud
detection and control are not a full proof mechanism but an attempt towards minimizing
the same; towards the growth of the health insurance industry.
