Company History
The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association was founded in 1985 by several private health insurers and federal and state government officials to focus on the fight against fraud in the health care system.
The NHCAA Institute for Health Care Fraud Prevention was established in 2000 as a separately incorporated, tax-exempt educational foundation that provides education and training to private- and public-sector health care anti-fraud personnel.
Today, NHCAA counts among our members an overwhelming majority of the nation’s health insurers as well as frontline government agencies committed to combating health care fraud. NHCAA is unique in our commitment to a private-public partnership in the fight against health care fraud. We provide a venue where private insurers and government entities can work together under the the simple principle that we can accomplish more together than we can separately.
