Here's an article about National Report Medicare Fraud Day:
National Report Medicare Fraud Day is observed on September 12th every year. It was founded in 2017 by The Hesch Firm, LLC ¹. The day brings awareness to the amount of Medicare fraud and provides the public with steps for reporting it ¹.
Medicare fraud affects us all. Ten percent of all Medicare funds are lost due to fraud ¹. The government spends $650 billion a year on Medicare, and $65 billion a year is lost to Medicare fraud ¹.
If you report fraud under the DOJ program, the government must open an investigation and inform you of the results ². You can report Medicare fraud to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through its website or by calling its hotline ¹.
The average DOJ reward for reporting Medicare fraud is $690,000 ². Some rewards have been as high as $150 million ²!
