VA Form 10-390: VHA Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Complaint Form

VA Form 10-390 is the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Complaint Form. VA's form page says to use it to report potential health-care fraud, waste, or abuse in VA programs. The form defines fraud as the intentional misrepresentation of information to gain undeserved payment for a claim, waste as spending federal healthcare dollars on services that are unnecessary, and abuse as a questionable practice inconsistent with accepted medical or business policies.

The form is two pages: Section I for the submitter, Section II for the Veteran, patient or beneficiary, Section III for the provider and Section IV for the complaint itself. It is sent by email or secure fax. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
