How To Report Medicaid Fraud Anonymously | TTY: 1-800-377-4950

You can report Medicaid fraud anonymously — every U.S. state (and the federal government) provides ways to do this without giving your name.

Here’s how 👇

🏛️ 1. Federal (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services)

If you’re unsure which state it happened in — or want to go straight to the top level:

• Office of Inspector General (OIG) – U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS)
  🌐 Website: https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/report-fraud/
  ☎️ Phone: 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477)
  📠 TTY: 1-800-377-4950
  ✉️ You can submit tips anonymously online — you don’t need to provide your name or contact info.

Use this if you suspect:

• A provider billing Medicaid for services not provided,

• Identity theft or falsified claims, or

• Kickbacks or false documentation.

🏙️ 2. Report to Your State’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU)

Each state’s Attorney General runs an MFCU.

You can find your state’s contact info here:

You can report:

• Fraud by doctors, pharmacies, or home-health agencies

• Fraud by beneficiaries (selling benefits, lying on applications, etc.)

Most states allow anonymous or confidential reports via:

• Online forms

• Fraud hotlines

• Mail or fax

🕵️ Tips for Anonymous Reporting

• Provide as many details as possible: names, addresses, dates, provider numbers, what you saw or heard.

• Don’t use work or personal email if you want to stay fully anonymous — use the online form or call.

• You may get a report ID number so you can check back without revealing your identity.
