This website also show you how to report all types of Medicare fraud, ranging from Home Health Care Fraud, Kickback Fraud, Long Term Acute Care Hospital Fraud, Medicare Advantage Fraud, Stark Violations Fraud, and Upcoding Fraud. Each of these types of Medicare fraud has their own National Day too! Explore this website and find out how to detect and then report Medicare fraud.
Ten percent of all Medicare funds are lost due to fraud. Because the government spends $650 billion a year on Medicare $65 billion a year is lost to Medicare fraud. It’s no wonder why we have a national health care crisis!
The money stolen by those cheating Medicare comes out of your pocket, as a faithful citizen and taxpayer. Worse yet, for every dollar lost to Medicare fraud is one less dollar available for our elderly or disadvantaged citizens needing health care. Are you willing to put up with that or do you want to do something about it?
Two ways to report Medicare fraud
There are two ways to report Medicare fraud. They are drastically different, with different ways of reporting and different results.
The first method is to report Medicare fraud under the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) whistleblower reward program, which pays significant rewards. The average is $690,000.
The second is to report fraud directly to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which oversees the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Although CMS does not pay significant rewards, it is easy and can be done anonymously.
This official national report Medicare fraud day website provides you with the tools to report Medicare fraud to DOJ for a reward or directly to CMS. See the links below.
