California is one of two states with a whistleblower law that provides rewards for those reporting fraud against private insurers. The California Insurance Fraud Prevention Act permits any interested party – including an insurance company – to file a civil suit against a defendant who has defrauded, or attempted to defraud a private insurer. Claims under the CIFPA may be combined with FCA and CFCA claims where, for example, a healthcare fraud has caused losses to both public and private payors in California.
