National Report Upcoding Fraud Day is observed on August 21 to raise awareness about healthcare fraud in the United States. Founded by former Department of Justice attorney Joel Hesch, this day encourages the public to report unethical practices by healthcare providers. The initiative aims to protect Medicare funds and promote justice through education and advocacy. Various organizations, such as the National Whistleblower Center and Taxpayers Against Fraud, provide resources and support for individuals considering reporting fraud. Participants are encouraged to educate themselves about upcoding fraud and share verified information within their networks. Additionally, healthcare providers are urged to conduct internal training on compliance and ethical billing practices to foster transparency and integrity.
