What is National Report Medicare Fraud Day?
The National Report Medicare Fraud Day, September 12th, is the National Report Medicare Fraud Day. We're all affected by Medicare fraud. Due to fraud, ten percent of all Medicare funds are lost due to theft. Medicare is the government's most popular program, but Medicare is missing every year to Medicare scams. We have a national health care crisis, no wonder.

We can report Medicare fraud in two specific ways, but each one produces very different results. One of the ways DOJ recovers is to blow the whistle under the Department of Justice (DOJ) reward program, which pays 15% to 25% of the amount DOJ recovers. The average DOJ reward for reporting Medicare fraud is $690,000. Any rewards have soared to $150 million!
In addition,, if you report fraud under the DOJ program, the government must open an investigation and notify you of the findings. Today, over three-fourths of the government's Medicare fraud lawsuits are DOJ whistleblower reward cases.. The government is counting on whistleblowers to submit Medicare fraud cases to DOJ and receive a certificate for participating.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which manages the Medicare program, is the other way to report fraud directly. (CMS) is the Medicare program's administrator. You can report abuse to CMS through its website or by calling its hotline.
