It increases health insurance premiums, unnecessary procedures, and overburdens the U.S. healthcare system. Each family in the U.S. pays $800 more in health care costs each year due to healthcare fraud.

Currently, the Department of Justice only intervenes is less than 15% of fraud cases in healthcare. Lo Tignov’s mission to expand the reach and scope of exposing fraud and recover improper payments.
