(USGovernment-News.Com, November 22, 2012 ) Los Angeles, CA -- Medicare Fraud Center has recently posted a new hotline that offers a way for people around the United States to contact the proper authorities to report any type of healthcare fraud. This phone number, which is 1-800-581-1790 now offers faster service for people who call in to report any type of Medicare fraud.
Each year, millions of dollars are wasted on thanks to Medicare fraud. From hospitals to nursing homes, there is a lot of stuff done behind the scenes that can only be described as unethical. By providing the website, people who witness this type of fraud can anonymously call in tips to help authorities stop this illegal activity.
While the new phone number does not guarantee a financial award, there is a chance that those whistleblowers who provide valid information will receive some type of compensation. Anything from overbilling for stays to kickback schemes on equipment can fall under the fraud category. Even Yaz lawsuit claims concerning the negative Yasmin side effects can qualify if a person ends up receiving too much compensation.
