What is fraud?

Explanation:
Fraud is deliberate deception intended to obtain something of value, whether money or another personal or financial gain. The key elements are deception and intent to gain, which distinguishes fraud from mere mistakes or accidents. A minor clerical error lacks an intent to deceive for gain, and an accidental data breach with no intent isn’t fraud. Insurance fraud is a form of deception, but fraud isn’t limited to insurance—it can involve any false representation or deceit to obtain benefits, including in billing, services, or credentials within dental hygiene practice.
