Medicare Fraud

Fraud costs Medicare billions of dollars each year. It can also result in higher Medicare premiums, deductibles and copayments for you. Losses due to fraud may also prevent Medicare from offering more services and better coverage as well.

Here you’ll find information about what Medicare fraud is, how to detect and report it, and downloadable English and Spanish resources on Medicare fraud prevention.
