  • operates an OIG Hotline, which allows the public, industry stakeholders and others to report suspected fraud, waste and abuse;
  • coordinates with the Department of Justice and other law enforcement authorities to leverage resources and fraud-fighting efforts;
  • provides protective services to the HHS Secretary and participates in public safety and security management activities; and
