DOJ and HHS-OIG set one door for criminal fraud self-disclosure
Issue
On October 15, 2026, the Justice Department's Fraud Division and HHS-OIG issued a joint policy. A company that reports possible criminal health care fraud to the Fraud Division's Health Care Fraud Section also gets the benefits of the OIG Self-Disclosure Protocol.
A report made only to OIG generally will not earn a declination. The release names no health centers.
