The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to fighting fraud and abuse, which divert dollars that could otherwise be spent to safeguard the health and welfare of Medicaid clients. Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with limited income. CMS' Medicaid Integrity Program, implemented February 8, 2006 by Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, strengthened state and Federal collaborative relationships to ensure the integrity of the Medicaid program.

Although states are primarily responsible for policing fraud in the Medicaid program, CMS provides technical assistance, guidance and oversight in these efforts. Fraud schemes often cross state lines, and CMS strives to improve information sharing among the Medicaid programs and other stakeholders. Options for obtaining contact information to report fraud and abuse include:

• State Fraud and Abuse Contact Report
• State Contacts 
  • After clicking on State Contacts, choose the respective State/Territory.
  • Choose General Professional Contact for Contact type.
  • Choose Medicaid - Report Fraud for Organization type.
