VI. Reporting fraud, waste,
or abuse of state resources
07/13/2018
Acts
of fraud, waste, or abuse impact the resources of state government and its
agencies. Such acts may occur through an unintentional act or by a deliberate
action. Regardless of the intent, fraud, waste, and abuse should not be
tolerated.
The
Office of Payment Accuracy & Recovery (OPAR) receives and investigates
reports of suspected consumer and provider fraud.
APD or
AAA staff should use MSC 0371, OPAR Fraud Investigation Unit Investigation referral, to report
suspected fraud by a consumer or provider; the form is available on the DHS Form
Server.
Persons
not employed by DHS or AAA partners should call the Fraud Hotline at
1-888-FRAUD01 (1-888-372-8301) or report fraud online.
No
public official shall use, or attempt to use, an official position to obtain
financial gain or avoid financial detriment fraudulently or otherwise. To
report suspected fraud or waste of state resources by a state employee, call
503-945-5608.
