Don't let the fear of retaliation prevent you from exposing the possible wrongdoing of someone in a position of trust over you. The False Claims Act protects you.

Fraud, waste, and abuse hurts us all. It takes courage to report something you think is wrong, but it's the right thing to do. We all must do our part to expose corruption in the system because, in the end, it's our money being misused.

To report something you think is wrong, you have several options. You can call your provider's office and inquire about the charge. They may be able to explain it. If you feel uncomfortable or sense your concern was brushed off, call your plan's member services number and speak with a supervisor about the billing error. You may also call Medicare to voice your concerns. These actions take time, but after you call, you'll feel better knowing you did the right thing.
