How can I report fraud, waste, and abuse about an HHS program?

Answer:

Complaints of possible fraud, waste, and abuse can be reported to the Inspector General's Hotline. There are several ways to contact the Hotline:

  • Toll-free phone: 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477), 8:00 am - 5:30 pm, Eastern Time, Monday-Friday
  • Fax: 1-800-223-8164 (10 pages or less, please)
  • TTY: 1-800-377-4950

    P.O. Box 23489

    (Note: please do not send any original documents)

You can also access the OIG Hotline guide for filing a complaint by going to the OIG Web site at http://www.oig.hhs.gov/hotline.html.

For security reasons, the Inspector General staff cannot offer a face-to-face interview.
