What kinds of cases involve charging for services not rendered?

Much like labor hours mischarging cases, charging for services not rendered is a frequently-encountered scheme. Charging time for quality checks or reviews when none occurred is one example. Another would be in the health care field, where the Government is charged for services not actually provided to a patient or where the services were charged as if performed by a medical doctor, when in fact a nurse, resident or intern, or other employee provided the service, which should, therefore have been charged at a lower rate or not charged to the Government at all.
