Fraud, Waste and Abuse

Let us know if you think a doctor, dentist, pharmacist at a drug store, other health care provider, or a person getting benefits is doing something wrong. Doing something wrong could be fraud, which is against the law, waste, or abuse. For example, tell us if you think someone is: 

• Getting paid for services covered by Blue Cross under the Healthy Kids Dental program that weren't given or necessary
• Not telling the truth about a medical condition to get medical or dental treatment
• Letting someone else use a Blue Cross Healthy Kids Dental program ID card
• Using someone else's Healthy Kids Dental ID card
• Not telling the truth about the amount of money or resources he or she has to get benefits

You can also visit the MDHHS fraud information site to contact MDHHS and for more information.
