Indiana False Claims Acts
Where can I find the full texts of the Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act and the Indiana Medicaid False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act?
Indiana has two statutes that prohibit false claims to the state. The Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act (“IFCWPA”) is written into Indiana statutes at Ind. Code § 5-11-5.5-1, et seq. The Indiana Medicaid False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act (“IMFCWPA”) is written into Indiana statutes at Ind. Code §§ 5-11-5.7-1, et seq.
What kind of fraud is covered by the IFCWPA and the IMFCWPA?
The IFCWPA and IMFCWPA combined cover any claim made to the state or any agency of the state (but not political subdivisions). The claims may relate to Indiana Medicaid, general procurement, transportation, education, construction or other state-funded programs.
