Our Services

Utah Program Integrity is committed to identifying fraud, waste and abuse of the Medicaid Program. We pursue each referral of suspected fraud, waste and abuse we receive and use the information to open investigations. Program Integrity receives referrals from patients, their families, other providers, the public, and through various federal and state agencies.

Fraud & Abuse Referrals

Utah Program Integrity relies on referrals of suspected fraud, waste and abuse. Referrals of suspected provider fraud, waste & abuse can either be made by calling Program Integrity's Fraud Hotline at 855-403-7283 or by completing the online Provider Referral Form.

Identifying inappropriate payments made to Medicaid providers allows Program Integrity to recover the overpayments made with Medicaid funds. The money is then returned to Medicaid and used to provide much needed services to eligible Medicaid recipients.

Before making a referral, gather as much information as possible. Helpful information includes the name of the Medicaid provider, their office location, the name of the person receiving the service, their date of birth, and the date the service was received. If you are unable to obtain all of this information, provide what you have.

You can remain anonymous when reporting suspected fraud, waste & abuse of the Medicaid program.
