The exact amount of healthcare fraud is very difficult to determine, especially in a two-tier healthcare system like South Africa. The amount and cost of dental fraud in South Africa has never been researched. If the amount and cost of fraud in a specific area can be determined, resources can be better used to combat healthcare fraud in the future.enUniversity of the Western Cape
