Fraud and Abuse

Driscoll Children's Health Plan has implemented a Waste, Abuse, and Fraud program as required by law. If you suspect that a person who receives benefits or a provider (a doctor, dentist, counselor, etc.) has committed waste, abuse or fraud, you have a responsibility and a right to report.

When reporting a provider (a doctor, dentist, counselor, etc.) try to include:

  • Name, address, and phone number of provider
  • Name and address of the facility (hospital, nursing home, home health agency, etc.)
  • Medicaid number of the provider and facility, if you have it
  • Type of provider (doctor, dentist, therapist, pharmacist, etc.)
  • Names and the phone numbers of other witnesses who can help in the investigation
  • Dates of events
  • Summary of what happened

When reporting a person who receives benefits, try to include:

  • The person's name
  • The person's date of birth, Social Security Number, or case number if you have it
  • The city where the person lives
  • Specific details about the waste, abuse or fraud

You can report Waste, Abuse, and Fraud by mail, phone, or online:
