Medicare is more than just a health plan—it’s a promise to protect Hawaiʻi’s kūpuna and people with disabilities, ensuring they have access to the care and services they need. But when fraud, errors, or abuse enter the system, that promise is weakened.
Reporting suspicious activity is one of the most powerful ways you can help protect Medicare for yourself, your loved ones, and the entire community.
Reporting Medicare fraud, error, or abuse is important for many reasons:
By reporting suspicious activity, you’re safeguarding your health, protecting your neighbors, and preserving Medicare for future generations.
If something doesn’t look right with a Medicare bill, service, or charge, don’t ignore it. Every report makes a difference. Here’s how you can help:
👉 Remember: If you suspect fraud, gather any documentation such as bills, receipts, or statements to support your report.
The False Claims Act even provides incentives for whistleblowers whose information helps recover Medicare funds, which means your actions could lead to real change—and real accountability.
When you report Medicare fraud, you’re not just protecting yourself—you’re strengthening Medicare for Hawaiʻi’s kūpuna, families, and future generations.
