Last modified: July 7, 2021

The UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Fraud, Waste and Abuse Program focuses on prevention, detection and investigation of false and abusive acts committed by care providers and/or plan members.

What to do if you suspect fraud, waste or abuse

You’re required by law to report suspected incidents of fraud, waste or abuse committed by a plan member or care provider. The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) requires that you report such incidents within 10 days of discovery.
