Compliance

Fraud, Waste and Abuse

GSIL has adopted policies and procedures to prevent, detect, deter, and correct fraud, waste, and abuse in accordance with federal and state laws, such as the Federal False Claims Act and the NH False Claims Act, prohibit false claims and other fraudulent activity. Violations of these laws can result in civil actions and penalties. Other laws and regulations governing the integrity of the Medicaid/Medicare Programs are in place to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse. Civil actions and penalties can be brought against the individual committing the crime and the organization. Actions may include loss of all federal/state assistance to the individual committing the crime or allowing the crime to take place.

If you know or suspect activity of this nature, it must be reported immediately. If you are uncertain whether an activity is fraudulent, reach out to Compliance. We do not discriminate or retaliate against any whistleblower, who files in good faith, a report for false claims or participates in a GSIL investigation.

→ GSIL takes all reports of fraud seriously, completes an internal investigation and cooperates with the office of the New Hampshire Attorney General←

Examples of false claims include:
