how do report health insurance fraud?
jim c asked:
A co-worker of mine has had a tummy tuck paid fully by the our health insurance company and she was suppose to have only 4 weeks off. Now she gets 2 months off becuase her doctor won’t relase her. I think she’s suppose to stay home durring this time but last week i saw her at theme park and concert. Is there a number i can call to report health insurance fraud?
The fact that the insuror paid for a tummy tuck sends up a red flag, as this would most likely be considered cosmetic surgery, and something not covered. If it was infact covered, I suspect that your company is self-insured, allowing for this type of claim.
In any case, most insurors have a phone number to report fraud anonymously.

You can report ANY kind of insurance fraud, to your state insurance department. Many states have a place where you can report it online.

Your state’s insurance board or insurance commissioner – and you can drop a dime anonymously.
