Investigative journalism is an essential role of the media in preventing healthcare fraud by exposing corrupt practices, holding healthcare providers and organizations accountable, and informing the public about the risks of fraud.

Healthcare fraud can take many forms, including overbilling, kickbacks, false claims, and unnecessary medical procedures. These fraudulent practices can have serious consequences, such as increased healthcare costs, compromised patient safety, and reduced access to healthcare services.
