One of the most powerful tools in this effort is the False Claims Act. Tips and complaints from all sources about potential fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement can be reported to the Department of Health and Human Services at 800-HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477).
The FCA contains qui tam, or whistleblower, provisions which allow anyone with evidence of fraud to sue on behalf of the government, in order to recover overpayments of federally funded health care programs. The Department of Justice can investigate and decide whether to join the action.
69% of the $75 billion recovered since 1986 has come from qui tam lawsuits filed by whistleblowers under the False Claims Act. Relators have been awarded over $8.6 billion in so-called relator's share awards under the False Claims Act.
The federal False Claims Act allows individuals to file “qui tam” or “whistleblower” lawsuits against organizations that have defrauded the government. In a qui tam action, an individual with direct knowledge of fraud files a lawsuit on behalf of the government.
