Protecting Whistleblowers and Fighting Fraud

Whistleblowers serve the public when they expose fraud in government-funded health care programs, leading to millions of dollars in recovered costs. Though laws protect whistleblowers, it still takes great moral courage and leaves individuals exposed to negative consequences. In this seminar, we are joined by two experts in health care fraud to discuss fraud detection and whistleblower protection. Support provided by the Oswald DeN. Cammann Fund at Harvard University.
