Fraud increases the cost of health care for everyone and increases your Federal Employees Health Benefits Program premium. OPM's office of the Inspector General Investigates all allegations of fraud, waste or abuse in the FEHBP program regardless of the agency that employs you or from which you retired.

If you suspect that fraud, waste or abuse is being committed, please report it to our fraud and abuse hotline by calling 312-935-9296.

Or by writing to:
AXA-Assistance, Fraud and Abuse Officer

All reports are treated as confidential and will be investigated appropriately, including applicable referral to law enforcement and regulatory bodies. Please include as much detail as possible to ensure our ability to investigate each issue. Reports may be made anonymously.

Here are some resources that we hope will help you clarify these terms and make it easier for you to recognize what they look like.
