🩺 It’s National Report Upcoding Fraud Day 🩺

Upcoding occurs when a provider bills Medicaid for a more expensive service than what was actually provided and documented. It is against New Jersey law and undermines the integrity and efficiency of our Medicaid program.

Healthcare workers and Medicaid providers are essential partners in identifying and preventing this type of fraud. If you suspect upcoding, you can report it anonymously and help protect taxpayer dollars.

Internal controls play a central role in protecting New Jersey’s taxpayer dollars.

They help ensure public agencies operate responsibly, maintain accurate records, and follow required standards.

When essential procedures are ignored—such as missing documentation or sharing login information—the risk of fraud, waste, and abuse increases.

No, public employees cannot use government vehicles for personal errands.

OSC works to strengthen integrity, efficiency, and transparency across New Jersey government.

Our audits examine how public programs use taxpayer dollars and whether internal controls and oversight are functioning as they should.

Our past audits have found issues such as:

❌Unclear vehicle‑use policies
📋 Limited monitoring of government resources
🚨 Weak internal controls that increase the risk of waste
