About National Report Long Term Acute Care Hospital Fraud Day
National Report Long Term Acute Care Hospital Fraud Day is a privately created U.S. awareness observance held on October 2.
The creator-registry record says The Hesch Firm formed the observance in 2017 to draw attention to alleged fraud involving long-term acute care hospitals, while current HHS-OIG guidance—not the observance campaign—controls how suspected HHS-program fraud is actually reported.

The day is a private fraud-awareness campaign, not a government holiday and not an official HHS or Medicare designation.
Fraud allegations can carry serious legal and employment consequences. Reports should be specific, truthful and based on information the reporter lawfully possesses; an observance page should never be treated as legal advice or as proof that misconduct occurred.
