Explanation:

Analyze the definition of Medicare fraud

Medicare fraud is defined as knowingly submitting, or causing to be submitted, false claims or making misrepresentations of fact to obtain a federal health care payment for which no entitlement would otherwise exist.

Evaluate the statement's condition

The statement describes knowingly submitting a false statement of material fact to get a Medicare payment for someone else when no entitlement exists. This action meets the legal definition of fraud, regardless of whether the payment is for oneself or for another person.

Determine the truth value

Because the action constitutes fraud, the assertion "you did not commit Medicare fraud" is incorrect. Therefore, the statement is false.

• True
• False (Correct answer)
